In the race for KS Secretary of State, we’ve endorsed former KS Representative, business owner, and voting-rights advocate Jennifer Day. 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙩.

How did BV-area legislators vote on limits on voting rights and potentially overturning the US Constitution? Wait, WHAT? Kansas became the latest state to vote (via legislators) for a “constitutional convention” - purportedly to place term limits on the US Congress. Why do KS legislators - who don’t have term limits - care about them for US congress reps? Well, once such a Convention is called (by having 34 states pass the resolution), there are NO limits on what can come ou

Johnson County Election Commissioner Fred Sherman, who’s held the position since appointed by Schwab in 2021, resigned this week with this statement: “I was given the option to resign or be terminated from the position, and I elected to resign.” Per the Post article: “Schwab did not give a reason for the decision to change the county’s top election leadership. But Sherman said Thursday morning that it amounted to a difference on an election policy issue that he did not want t

By the slimmest margin possible, Kansas voters lost their rights to a 3-day grace period on mailed ballots postmarked by Election Day. Five BV-area legislators are among those who previously voted to take away the grace period, and then voted today to override Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of the bill. This is just the first in a series of predicted assaults on voting rights since a MAGA supermajority claimed KsLeg in 2024. Even more alarming: KS House Election Committee Chair, Le

Voting AGAINST Blue Valley last week, State Senators Kellie Warren and TJ Rose voted to divert even more taxpayer dollars to private (mostly religious) schools; rejected holding those private schools accountable for how they use and manage Kansas taxpayer dollars; voted to disenfranchise mail-ballot voters; and voted against local control of School Boards. BV-area State Senator Cindy Holscher voted the opposite of Warren and Rose in each case. SB 87 expands the existing vou

The Kansas Senate passed a bill Wed., Feb 5, to eliminate the 3-day grace period for mailed ballots - postmarked on or before Election Day - to reach the election office and be counted. State Senators Kellie Warren and TJ Rose voted YES - disenfranchising Kansas voters. Voting AGAINST SB 4 - that is, voting to maintain the mail-ballot grace period - was BV-area Sen. Cindy Holscher. Sen. Holscher recognizes that the bill punishes voters for problems with mail processing and d

Kellie Warren voted in 2023 to make drop boxes ILLEGAL as a way to return mail ballots. Despite assurances from local and state election officials about the efficiency and security of ballot drop boxes, and the fact that they’ve been used since 1978, the Kansas Senate last year voted on a bill to completely ban them. Sen. Cindy Holscher voted NO on the ban and Sen. Kellie Warren voted YES. (This provision was passed by the KS Senate but later removed from the bill.) Also in
