Polls are now closed in 101 of 105 Kansas counties, except in the four counties on Mountain Standard Time

SOS office said earlier we should start seeing results trickle in about an hour #ksleg
I lied, Butler County early voting is in #ksleg
Just in: AP has called the U.S. Senate race for Jerry Moran #ksleg
A trend as several counties finalize their results: Kelly is matching her 2018 vote share in western Kansas but there is almost no third party vote share this time around (versus Orman in 2018), so Schmidt is making some gains versus Kobach #ksleg

No idea if it'll be enough
Kelly wins Lyon County and maintains her '18 vote but Schmidt makes a noticeable improvement over Kobach #ksleg

Also, moderate Republican Rep. Mark Schreiber beats back a Dem challenger fairly easily in a race some had been keeping tabs on
And in Hays, Rep. Barb Wasinger, R-Hays, easily defeats former Fort Hays State President Ed Hammond #ksleg
All of Riley is in and Kelly increased her vote share since 2018 but Schmidt gained in the raw vote total

Meanwhile, Rep. Michael Dodson, R-Manhattan, hangs on against Dem challenger Kim Zito in a top Dem pickup hope #ksleg
Kelly underperforming her 2018 vote share in Neosho, Osage, Linn counties

She is overperforming her 2018 vote share in Chase and Ellsworth

Will any of this matter? No idea #ksleg
All of Shawnee is in and Kelly has increased her 2018 vote share from 58ish to 59.3 but Schmidt also improved Kobach's raw vote share #ksleg
Also Dems hold retiring Rep. Jim Gardner's seat in central Topeka but lose in a challenge to Rep. Jesse Borjon in the Wannamaker corridor #ksleg
All of Johnson is in (!) and Kelly improved on her vote share from 2018, as well as her raw vote margin #ksleg
Dems did really well here in the state house races

Reps. Heather Meyer and Dan Osman are leading, both seats even Dems thought were gone #ksleg

Meanwhile Rep. Charlotte Esau, R-Olathe, is trailing by 120 votes and the Dem is up in Rep. John Toplikar's old seat by 90ish votes
Rep. Steven Johnson is claiming victory in the treasurer's race over Dem incumbent Lynn Rogers #ksleg

No AP call yet that I've seen
Rep. Jason Probst, the state house's westernmost Dem, wins in a key house race in Hutchinson, winning by four points in a race that was decided by fewer than 100 votes two years ago #ksleg
Congressman Tracy Mann claiming victory in the Big First

He's currently up 22 points on Dem Jimmy Beard #ksleg
Meanwhile, Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt is claiming victory

She is currently the best performing statewide Republican on the ticket #ksleg
In governor's race: Kelly won Sedgwick County 49-48 after winning 48-42 four years ago; Kris Kobach actually won the county in the AGs race #ksleg

Incumbent Dem Rep. Chuck Schmidt is trailing his GOP challenger by 190 votes; House Minority Leader Tom Sawyer cruises
Meanwhile, Kelly lost in Harvey County after winning there four years ago, though her percentage of the vote largely stayed flat

Harvey has been a bellweather county for decades ... #ksleg
Secretary of State Scott Schwab is also claiming victory in his race against Dem Jeanna Repass #ksleg
AP has called the 2nd Congressional District for U.S. Rep. Jake LaTurner #ksleg
Current status: Rural Kansas needs to count faster or the secretary of state website needs to update faster #ksleg
We're told Derek Schmidt will address the crowd here momentarily

Sounds like Gov. Kelly will do the same soon #ksleg
Schmidt is sending the crowd home: This race will not be called tonight #ksleg
Kris Kobach is claiming victory; Dem Chris Mann sent his supporters home awhile ago and says it is still too close to call #ksleg
Kobach: "No matter who you are or where you come from, you've got to love a comeback story"

Shouts out the anti-vax group Kansans for Health Freedom in his victory speech #ksleg
