REACTION; Orman said he wants his campaign to stand as a message of encouragement to future independent candidates. As the speech ended, the enthusiasm in the room was almost as palpable as when Orman left the stage to mingle with his guests. His watch party was held at the Overland Park Convention Center.
UNOFFICIAL RESULTS: 43 percent of the votes (335,692)
BUZZ: "Roberts may have won tonight, but we didn't lose," Orman said. "What we have done tonight is the start of something great for this country." By Alex Keenan
PAT ROBERTS (R)
CIVIL RESULTS: 53 percent of the votes (441,970)
REACTION; The Sunflower Ballroom at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Topeka erupted in applause when the GOP incumbent senator was re-elected. Before Nov. 4, Roberts had been caught in a tie with Orman. Roberts thanked his supporters, family and fellow Kansans and left the audience with a promise that he and others would "get things done" in Washington.
BUZZ: "The tide is turning, and the era of the Obama-Reid gridlock is over," Roberts said.

MATERCIAL RESULTS: -50 percent of the votes
(416,120)
REACTION: Voters stood with Brownback signs chanting, "We want Sam," awaiting a victory speech from the governor. Jazz music that played over speakers in the ballroom shifted to the Rocky theme. After the governor's speech, attendees opened champagne bottles while listening to Pharrell's "Happy." The governor walked out to uproarious applause, thanked them and congratulated his opponent Paul Davis on a good race
REACTION: The crowd applauded as they heard conceding speeches at the watch party at Abe & Jake's Landing in Lawrence. More than 800 people crowded to cheer on the Democrats. Guests of all ages mingled throughout the evening keeping a close eye on the TVs, but as the numbers shifted away from Davis' favor, spectators trickled out.
BUZZ: "We have much to do, but tonight let's celebrate," Brownback said. By Allison Kite
PAUL DAVIS (D)

The Parking and Transit department issued 86 citations Monday night during the first basketball game of the season. Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit, said that number is pretty typical for the first game of the season.
One of the lots that is blocked off for games is lot 90 by the Ambler Student Recreation and Fitness Center, which is majorly a yellow parking pass lot where many students park. Hultine said since it's a mostly student lot, if tickets are issued there, it will be a majority of them who receive tickets.
Of the citations issued, 62 of them were students,eight were faculty and the other 16 were either unidentified visitor or non-university. Out of the 86 citations issued,72 were in lot 90,11 in the Allen Fieldhouse Garage and three
in lot 71, located between Hoglund Ballpark and Allen Fieldhouse. Parking and Transit issued a total of 226 tickets overall Monday, according to Hultine.
Students who park in lot 90, and have to be on campus for other activities during basketball games should move their car to another yellow lot, Hultine said. Lots 61, 62 and 34, located next to the computer science building on Sunnyside Avenue are all available after 5 p.m. for those who have valid permits. Lots 300 and 302 on West Campus are available to yellow permit holders, where there is a shuttle to bring students to campus.
The parking department puts up signs 48 hours in advance of all games and it's important for students to be aware of the schedule and the signage in the lot, Hultine said.

During the first basketball game Monday, 86 people, including 62 students, were ticketed for parking violations.
Federal judge Daniel Crabtree ruled in favor of same-sex marriage for Kansas today, when he granted a preliminary injunction to the plaintiffs in the case. Marie v. Moser. The injunction is a court order that says court clerks can't deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Kansas.
Crabtree also put a temporary stay on the injunction, which gives the defense until Nov. 11 to appeal the decision, according to a memorandum and order signed by Crabtree today.
On Friday's hearing of the case, the plaintiff's had requested the preliminary injunction, and the defense had said they would appeal the decision if Crabtree decided to grant it, but Johnson said he has not heard the defense's response since Crabtree's decision came out today.
If the state says it won't appeal, the injunction would go into effect immediately, which means same-sex couples in Kansas could possibly start getting marriage licenses.
