Kansas is a laggard relative to releasing November 2024 election returns. Kansas has a declared write-in filing procedure, but still won’t release the state write-in totals. The Secretary of State’s office did tell the Green Party state chair that Jill Stein had received 1,773 write-ins, but he hasn’t released this information to the general public, nor has he released the totals for the other declared write-in candidates.
Furthermore, although his website gives the state totals for the candidates who were on the ballot, he hasn’t released the county-by-county numbers. And if someone tries to go to each county clerk website to get the individual county totals, one finds that some counties don’t have the information on their election website.
Several weeks ago I sent a Freedom of Information request to Kansas state government to get the county totals, but it has been ignored.
When one phones the Secretary of State’s office, one is told that only the State Elections Director can furnish the information, and he doesn’t return calls.
Does it really matter? If you are this concerned then sue..
I thought I read that the American Solidarity Party received write in totals and that they were above average because of outreach to Benedictine College.
Skylar, do you know the number of votes?
If they provided results to Stein, wouldn’t it be illegal discrimination for them not to provide it to all their write in candidates? How many did they have (who were on the ballot in one or more other states since those are the ones you’ve been tracking)? Have you asked those candidates or campaign contacts to see if they could get their results? Did they follow up, and have you followed up with them?
