I expect Colyer will request a recount and I think that is appropriate. My concern was that he would file suit to chase the rest of these provisionals, but I now think that is extremely unlikely given that the provisionals thus far have generally aided Kobach.

So have a recount. State law requires him to request it by this Friday and for it to be completed in 5 days. The party will coelesce behind the winner. At least enough to easily beat the split vote between Orman and whatserface.

Btw, I expect there will be a serious push to get the Dem candidate out of the race and off the ballot so they can consolidate behind Orman. They will do anything to beat KK.

Yeah that would never happen. Except that it did just a few years ago.

That definitely happened in the Senate race against Roberts. I think Kelly is a stronger candidate and though Kobach is a big favorite, Democrats will not pressure her to get out.  Sorry I thought Taylor had some like scandal as well but I looked it up and it was just a play for a senate seat.

Ordinarily I’d agree with you that the Dems wouldn’t try the same trick twice. And they wouldn’t have tried it against Colyer. But they really hate Kobach. And they might have a chance of beating him if they throw their support to Orman.

polls with the three candidates show kelly and kobach way out ahead of orman who only gets like 10% support.  his only role is as a spoiler and there is no chance that the democrats will pull kelly to help him.

If you really want get nerdy about this, here's how the provisionals broke down in Sedgwick....

Of the 1,326 provisionals counted, only 661 were for the GOP. 665 were for the Dems. So even though roughly 70% of the vote in Sedgwick was in the GOP primary, the provisional vote was 50/50. Which just goes to show that provisional ballots lean Dem, and we can probably expect the same 50/50 split in JoCo. That means that of the 1500 or so provisional that JoCo will count this afternoon, maybe only 700-800 will matter.

Next, of the provisonal GOP votes in Sedgwick, Kobach got 49.5%. Colyer got 35.2%. In the total vote, Kobach got 45.7% to Colyer's 37%. So Kobach actually performed slightly better, and Colyer slightly worse, in the provisional voting. That's a surprise.

If JoCo follows this trend, that's very bad news for Colyer.

Not that it matters at this point, but the JoCo provisional count basically followed the same exact trend as the Sedgwick provisional count. 60% of the JoCo vote was in the GOP primary, but the provisional ballots split 53/47 for the GOP. Only 772 provisional votes were cast in the GOP primary.

Kobach's 42% provisional ballot share outperformed his 37% in the total vote. Colyer's 39% provisional ballot share underperformed his 43% of the total vote.

I suspect this is why Colyer conceded. The final dozen or so counties to count their provisionals would likely have only made the numbers worse, as would suing to count even more provisionals.

Can you share these polls??

Also, Orman is a tool.

this poll (3-way, including orman) is the one i was thinking of.

https://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article215375450.html


but while i was googling to find it, i saw this one that gives orman more support in a 2-way with kobach.  note that it was not a neutral poller; however.  and i haven't tried to find the actual poll and see if it looks legit.

Orman gets almost all of his support from people that would otherwise vote for Kelly.

....so, like I was saying. The pressure to kick Kelly to the curb is going to mount as Dems lose their crap over the prospect of a Governor Kobach. Look at this picture:



Does that lady on the left look to you like the candidate that’s going to stop Kobach? The vast majority of Kansans never even heard of her until she won the Dem nomination, and most still probably haven’t. She’s an inconsequential nothing-burger, an acceptable sacrificial lamb for an honorable loss to Colyer. But a loss to Kobach? No effing way Dems are going down on the USS Kelly without a fight. They’re going to desert her in droves for the Orman life boat.

In addition to looking nothing at all alike, Sebelius was 54 when she won. Kelly is pushing 70. Even Dems have concerns about her "low energy" and being "understated."

I don't think anyone would mistake the two but I took K-S-U to mean Kelly's "look" can't win in Kansas.  That look to me is an older lady with short gray hair which has won here before.
