For what it's worth, if Sedgewick county has the same level of turnout as the rest of the district there are still about 50,000 votes left to be counted there. That's 1/2 of the total votes tallied so far.

Yeah that means that Thompson's got to take the remainder with like a 15% margin and he's currently at +6 and that margin is shrinking in Sedgwick.

Okay but why does this matter??? They'll just say it's because he's too liberal or mired in scandal to do anything or something equally wrong and dumb. Every politician in this country thinks that their constituents are basically one ghost costume away from burning crosses.

If the dems can imitate this in Georgia, they could have a shot at a normally R+8 seat (and one that Hillary did far better in than KS-4). But they're dems, so.........

The Republican party is smoothbrain to the core and will ignore it or listen to Fox News saying it was all fake voters or whatever

Why would expectations for 2018 be any different than what happened in 2004, when the mantra was it's a bad idea to change a president in the middle of a war

Especially when the war is big league, and there is no middle even because it's forever.

Yeah it's interesting that the early voting results had more Republicans than Democrats voting and Thompson was up 60-30, and now his numbers continue to get lower and lower.

I always find this so funny like the people in big giant cities where terrorist would actually hit are fine with Muslims. It's the people that live in the middle of no where who are so scared like anyone is putting on a suicide vest to blow up corn field in Iowa.

Good point! Nothing will change, but do we really need KS-4 to sow disunity in the GOP?

Trump alone does that enough for us.

2018 is a midterm while 2004 wasn't; Bush was still fairly popular and coasting down from his 9/11 peak. Trump is widely disliked not even 100 days into his presidency that's been nothing but scandal and incompetence.

2018 is more likely to be like 2006 than 2004.

Oh it's Koch HQ there, I have no doubt ballot box burnings or whatever took place. You always have to assume it in these cases. Kansas is going to loving burn and become the first failed state and they'll have voted for it knowingly. Brownback stripped them of their healthcare and promised to destroy their schools and already everything funded by tax dollars is in shambles and they still voted for his guy lmao
