Easy access to historical and current voting data in Kansas is very important to the health of our Democracy. IKE lab provides a very helpful service to Kansans.

Advance voting in Kansas begins today! We’ve got our first report of the number of mail-in ballots requested so far, and a few hundred have already been returned. Our first in-person voting report (to the limited extent counties start today) will be tomorrow. #ksleg
NEW: My midterms cheat sheet features 670+ races—up and down the ballot, & why they matter.
Now it's in PDF, printable form!
Save it, print it, give it to your kids to color the Senate map, & use it your worksheet on election night.

Hey @ike-lab.com could you make a table that combines mail-in ballots AND early in-person voting and look at overall turnout?
I appreciate looking at the types of early voting, but another key factor is what percent of votes are already cast (combining in-person and mail) and what % that is.
Thx!
A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women.

Apparently the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has no standards since they now have updated their website to use the delusional renaming of artificial intelligence as “super Intelligence” or “SI.”
We tolerate unnecessary risk to all of us to protect business owners because we elect politicians who dismantle regulations and undermine public health.
Here’s something you should know about minks:
They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people.
They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19.
Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵
Cancer is what you get when you elect Republican politicians who say there are "too many regulations." This is not just a Trump problem, this is Republicans all the way down. Exercise your right to vote and choose a better world.
JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks.
A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it

🚨This race is tied! Ty Masterson's allies have spent $20 million trying to save his campaign, and Kansans still aren’t buying it.
Don’t let out-of-state mega-donors buy this seat.
Pitch in now to show Masterson that Kansas is not for sale:
➡️ secure.actblue.com/donate/cindy...
Vote for Cindy Holscher @cindyforkansas.bsky.social for #Kansas governor. She will do great things for every Kansan.
Keep the seat away from Trump-acolyte, Ty Masterson, co-consiprator for the horrible Brownback budget that put Kansas in debt for years.

A former state employee sued Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson and two other Republican legislators for demanding she be fired over a comment she posted to Facebook when Charlie Kirk was killed in September 2025. #kslegkansasreflector.com/2026/10/23/f...
Masterson also put her cellphone number on his Kansas Senate President Facebook page and urged people to call her. She received death threats, including an email titled “resign or die,” in which the writer promised to “blow your f*****g brains out if you don’t resign.” #ksleg

Kansas Republican Roger Marshall flees the scene after his poor debate performance:
"We offered the same time here on our post-debate show to Senator Marshall. We understand he has left. He's no longer in the building."
If Kansas millennials stopped wasting money on frilly lattes and avocado toast, they’d be able to afford a lawyer when they’re sued by their United States senator.
BREAKING: Famously bad governor Sam Brownback, the guy behind the plan that gutted our schools and destroyed our state's finances, endorses Ty Masterson, the guy who co-wrote the same plan.
If 70% of Kansans support Medicaid expansion, why are they electing candidates that don't?
This is what happens when people vote for a party instead of candidates that align with their values. We made a tool that makes it easy to see who aligns and who doesn't. Share it!

These custom fundraising forms are really great. I was inspired by @charlesgaba.com
I’ve already raised over $5,000 for #Kansas races that matter to me. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. Have you yet?
You can do this too for your local races that matter.

I'm running to lower your property taxes.
Ty Masterson has had years to fix the problem with a super majority, but he’s focused on gutting our schools and giving handouts to corporations.
While Republicans hold a sizable advantage in total registered voters in Kansas — 901,822 to 521,669 as of Oct. 1 — this year has seen a swell in enthusiasm for the Democratic Party, which grew by 5.31%, adding 26,287 new voters since January. Rs? 4,764 added.

Low Traffic Neighbourhoods - 'more research need'..
Well from 2022 to 2025, funded by the NIHR, we (& colleagues) did that research.
And we have 10(!!) peer reviewed articles so far, with more on the way.
Here's a summary of our papers so far (all open access so get reading):
Most Kansans support public schools, but many candidates voted to underfund them.
Do you have people in your life who focus more on a candidate’s party than their actual positions and values? We’ve created a tool to help. Check out voteyourvaluesks.com to see who's fighting for our public schools.
Canvass for Cindy Holscher! Help us get out the vote next Saturday for @cindyforkansas.bsky.social
If you’ve never door knocked, don’t worry. We’ll pair you with an experienced volunteer!
