Kansas City, Missouri, held a non-partisan primary for city office on April 7. The incumbent Mayor, Sly James, was the overwhelming favorite, winning over 84% of the vote against two opponents. The vote was: James 19,884; Vincent Lee 2,112; CLay Chastain 1,456.

However, the city requires a second round on June 23, even for candidates who got over 50% of the vote in April. Now the third place finisher has sued to keep James off the June ballot on the grounds that he was late to pay city taxes. See this story. The lawsuit is in state court and is expected to move quickly.
