By a two-to-one ratio, Missouri voters reject Proposition A, a right-to-work law that banned mandatory union fees. 67.5 percent of voters “no” on the measure Tuesday.
The Kansas GOP nominee for Governor is Kris Kobach or Jeff Colyer.
Some tweets to round it up:

All precincts have reported. Reminders: results are unofficial. Provisional ballots are not included. Some hand-counted paper ballots are not included. Ballots that were postmarked on or before yesterday and received by Friday will be included in final totals. #KsLeg

Kobach says there are several thousand provisional ballots out there. There is just 100 vote difference between the two. #ksleg pic.twitter.com/T6eX8dHIxX

Kobach says they cannot wait for the ballots. He is taking this as a win until the provisional ballots are counted. #ksleg. pic.twitter.com/Vpad65IQBn

What office oversees recounts in Kansas? That would be Kris Kobach’s office, as Secretary of State. There’s no law that requires that he recuse himself from a likely recount on the GOP primary with Jeff Colyer.https://t.co/R3HsaRqt4F

Meanwhile, the Democratic candidate for Kansas Governor looks to the general election.

“It’s hard to say exactly why Greg Orman is running for governor, but Kansans are right to be skeptical,” Kelly said Tuesday night. “He has not shown that he has the public’s best interests at heart.”
Orman is an Independent candidate. Some consider him a spoiler in the race.

The snafus last night once again left the county, the state’s most populous, the last to tally its totals. That left the outcomes of the Republican primary for governor and the Democratic primary for the 3rd District congressional race up in the air until Wednesday morning.
The below Tweet posted after yesterday’s brief. It shares rainfall from Monday night.
