AP calls Missouri Amendment 5. With 16% reporting NO 83.7% YES 16.3%. So by 8:15 initiative petition changes and eliminating the state income tax both go down hard.

Kansas Senate president & GOP gubernatorial hopeful Ty Masterson lets the cat out of the bag -- the constitutional amendment to elect Kansas Supreme Court justices will lead to outlawing abortion and de-funding public schools. marionrecord.com/direct/cand…

Please don't fall for the "it is democratic to elect judges" line. Kansas uses a merit selection process where every potential judge is absolutely grilled in interview, & research is done to determine qualifications & temperament for the bench. Keep PAC $ out of Kansas courts!
Fair and impartial should be the goal for all courts. Vote NO on August 4th to keep the Kansas Supreme Court this way.

We continue to see a rise in scam text messages that appear to be from the Kansas Supreme Court and Kansas District Courts about a subpoena over unpaid tolls incurred with the Kansas Turnpike Authority. Ignore these requests. Do not visit the links. #KSCourts #SpotTheScam
