Three of 4 BV-area Kansas senators and 3 of 8 BV-area Kansas representatives voted for bills that make it harder for YOU to vote. This anti-voter extremism must be called what it is. (See details on the attached charts.)
What problems in Blue Valley are these elected officials addressing? Are voting drop boxes causing a concern that we aren’t aware of?
Mailed ballots, postmarked on or before Election Day, currently have until the Friday of that week to reach the election office. Actual election officials including the JoCo elections officer and the Secretary of State haven’t raised any concerns with this voter-friendly policy.
