those things that divided us during this campaign."
Though Slattery had predicted a close finish at the wire, Graves was declared the winner when polls closed at 7 p.m. The declaration was made based on a computer analysis of exit poll results. The poll, conducted by Voter News Service, showed that 63.4 percent of the 1,770 voters interviewed at 15 polling places said they had voted for Graves.
Slattery conceded victory early in the evening. He called Graves at 8:25 p.m.
"Congressman Slattery simply conceded and said he had enjoyed the challenge," Graves said. "He offered his assistance in the future. It was a very gracious phone call."
Graves winning percentage erased a 22-year record for the most lopsided win in a Kansas gubernatorial race.
Graves victory made his running mate, Sheila Frahm, the first female lieutenant governor.
The late Rick Dockling, a Democrat, set the previous record, claiming 62 percent of the vote in defeating Republican Morris Kay in 1972.
Graves was relieved to be finished campaigning, but said he was ready to begin work as governor.
"I'm so exhausted right now, but I can deal with the fatigue later," Graves said. "I actually took a nap today after I voted with my parents in Salina. But I am so looking forward to going to work."
Graves spent the early evening hours in his office at the statehouse, preparing his victory speech.
"I thought it would have been presumptuous to have written it earlier," he said. "I don't think you can take anything for granted."
Allan Cigler, professor of political science, said a Graves victory was expected, but the margin was a surprise.
3rd: Meyers wins
"Slattery faced a united Republican party, and it is very unusual for a Democrat to beat a Republican if there is a strong party behind the Republican," Cigler said.

Meyers said.
Instead, Meyers said that she favored a bill she submitted that would freeze Aid to Families with Dependent Children, a monthly cash grant, because the money wasn't being used by people who needed it.
"It has become an incentive to join the system," Meyers said. "Right now, the system says, 'If you will have a couple of children, we will give you $18,000 to find a home, go to school and pay child care.' You'll be caught in the welfare trap for life."
Meyers said she also hoped to address deficit reduction next year.
Meyers spent most of yesterday thanking constituents and discussing issues with last minute voters in the 3rd District, which includes Johnson, Wyandotte, Miami and Douglas counties.

"We've been spending more than we've been taking in for 40 years," she said. "Somebody, sooner or later, is going to have to pay for that, and that's your generation."
