re: The Kansas voting totals just don’t add up

As a Kansan, unfortunately yes. We had the biggest crowd I've ever seen at my precinct yesterday. Still the wording was confusing..i had pro life friends tell me they voted no when a yes vote would have opened the doors for abortion restrictions. Our Supreme court is ate up with lefty judges not to mention a dem governor and this was a way of bypassing any challenges that might come from just the legislature passing a law. It would have changed our constitution.

It’s always those damn voting machines. Not sure how Republicans ever win a race.

Almost as if it's a really big fricking issue.

Yeah, that's not what those numbers indicate. At all.
Have you never voted in a primary before?

It kinda does indicate that. It’s not really that surprising either.

OK.
Explain how "Dominion strikes again."

That’s not what you quoted. I disagree that it’s dominion.
It does demonstrate that a bunch of people showed up to vote for one issue.
Edit: I misread your post. It is what you quoted.

I'm not sure but they do have separate ballots for D, R and non registered. They did not ask me what ballot I wanted when i went to vote. They just handed me an R ballot. I assume this means you have to be registered for a party beforehand to get those ballots.
But, you see why the vote totals not adding up would make some sense, right?

The initial suggestion by the data would be that the most likely explanation is that around 20% of the voters showed up to vote for only the abortion issue.

From Kansas originally and find this hard to believe.
The moment you cross the Nebraska/Kansas state line I saw hundreds of signs saying to vote yes. I never once saw the opposite.

Which makes some sense if Independents cannot (or can choose not to) vote in a primary for a candidate. Right?
If this were a general election, you'd expect the totals to be much, much closer.

so yes, the unaffiliated showed up and stopped R legislators from changing the constitution.
I know you want this to be true, but it simply isn't. Your inability to admit that the measure was worded poorly betrays you for the hack that you are.

Actually happens very often.
The highest profile race or ballot issue will always have more people casting a vote than races or issues on the rest of the ballot.
Has happened throughout the course of our country’s history.

And that is the case in Kansas. You either are declared as a party, declare on the day of the election or you get to vote on issues only and not party candidates.

I’m sure the JoCo soccer moms voted for abortion at an 80% clip.

Do you have to be a registered party member to vote in a party's primary? Could be they had unaffiliated people who could only vote for statewide ballot issues and couldn't vote in the D or R primaries. That wouldn't be the case in Alabama, but I don't know how Kansas works so I'm just throwing it out there.
180,000 of them? Apparently.
dominion … dominion … dominion.

It doesn’t happen “very often.” And 25% and 35% deltas between a ballot initiative and statewide positions would not at all be “very often.”
I don’t believe it’s fraud. But it’s not accurate to say this “happens all the time.”

Primaries are run differently in every state, and I candidly have never heard of a state that votes on statewide ballot initiatives in the primaries rather than the general election. If I had not "read-up" on Kansas procedure, I would probably be confused as well because this setup is the complete opposite of my state in almost every way.
Have you never voted in a primary before?
