ELECTION
Strong, early voter turnout in Kansas
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Secretary of State Kris Kobach toured polling locations in Wyndotte and Johnson counties Tuesday morning and said poll workers were reporting a strong turnout. Kobach had predicted that 68 percent of eligible voters would weigh in, but he said Tuesday that his estimate may have been too low. He said a polling site in Lenexa had a long line before the polls opened at 7 a.m., but voters managed to get in and out in less than 30 minutes.
President Barack Obama had a relatively strong showing in Kansas in 2008, grabbing nearly 42 percent of the vote. But there were signs early Tuesday that any momentum
TOPEKA, Kan. — Voter turnout early Tuesday in Republican-leaning Kansas seemed heavier than expected, as Democrats scrambled to staunch the GOP-dominated Legislature's push to the right and allies of conservative Gov. Sam Brownback sought to shore up their gains.
With no U.S. Senate race this year and Republicans expected to comfortably win re-election to all four of the state's U.S. House seats, the most closely watched races as voters filed into polling stations Tuesday were for the Legislature. Republican Mitt Romney was expected to carry the state in the presidential race, as every GOP nominee has done since 1964.
"We'll see if it turns out to be just heavy voting in the morning. I think there is just a lot of interest in this election," Kobach said.
"I go back to health care reform no matter which party you have, you have to have health care reform." Moore said.
"I'm just ready for a change," said Jim Clark, a 42-year-old computer administrator from Topeka. He's a registered Republican who voted for Obama last time, seeking change, but voted for Romney this year. Clark lost a full-time job two years ago and has worked temporary assignments since then.
"It's tougher for me, personally," Clark said. "The economy has not improved."
Marianne Moore, a 47-year-old human resources director at a Wichita long-term care facility, said she voted only for Obama and other Democrats and skipped races where Republicans were running unopposed. She also said that through her job, she encounters a lot of people without health insurance, and she believes Obama's health care overhaul will help fix this.
Kansas elections officials had been expecting about 1.2 million registered voters to cast ballots on Tuesday. More than 330,000 people voted early, either by mail or in person at election offices.
Legislative races were intense because Democrats have worked with moderate Republicans leading the Senate to stall some of Brownback's agenda, even though the GOP had majorities of 32-8 in the Senate and 92-33 in the House.
