Kansas Upheld Abortion Rights And Other Key Updates From The Aug. 2 Elections

“No” leads the way by Kansas’s anti-abortion rights amendment by 26 points, with 56 percent of the expected vote reporting. Much of the “No” vote comes from the major population centers, such as the Kansas City suburbs and Wichita. We have a couple counties where almost all of the expected vote is reporting, and they show how much more favorable this vote is to abortion rights than for Biden in Kansas’s 2020 presidential vote. Shawnee County, home to the state capital Topeka, went for Biden by 3 points, but the “No” vote leads there by 32 points. And in Butler County, a decently sized county in the Wichita suburbs that went for Trump by 41 points, the “No” vote actually leads by 1 point right now.
