According to this story, the Kansas Republican Party has removed all Republicans who endorsed independent gubernatorial candidate Dennis Pyle from their posts as local precinct officials. Earlier the party had removed all those who had signed the Pyle petition, but this move goes further.

Senator Dennis Pyle, elected to the Kansas Senate in 2004 as a Republican, switched his registration to independent in June 2022. He appears to be the only independent legislator in Kansas in 100 years. He is still in the State Senate because his term doesn’t expire until the end of 2024.
