Kansas Primaries: Who Will Win | Roanoke News

Kansas voters head to the polls today for a pivotal primary election that could reshape the state’s political landscape. Republicans are vying to reclaim the governor’s office after eight years, with multiple candidates pouring millions into their campaigns — including one backed by a major party endorsement. Democrats are also in fierce competition for governor and the U.S. Senate, the latter a historic race as Kansas hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1914. A key ballot measure proposes replacing the current system of appointing Supreme Court justices with direct elections. Meanwhile, contested races for U.S. House, secretary of state, and state Board of Education are heating up, with Johnson, Sedgwick, and Shawnee counties likely to swing the results. Polls close at 7 PM local time — 8 or 9 PM Eastern — and voters must be registered with a party to vote in its primary, unless they’re independents choosing affiliation at the polls. The Associated Press will track and declare winners as results come in. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
