KS pede here. As with all Ballot Measures, this was a propaganda campaign. The Pro-Choice crowd did a GREAT job painting this as an outright abortion ban, attack on women's rights, etc.
I'm disappointed, but not surprised. Seems to me that this was a poorly timed and poorly planned move by the Pro-Life crowd. They should have known that momentum would be against them due to the pearl clutching from the MSM.
Now, with all that being said, our three main metro areas are Kansas City, Wichita, and "west of KC" (including Lawrence, Topeka, Manhattan, and surrounding communities). It would be VERY easy to manipulate the outcome simply by meddling in one of these areas, and TTV has identity all three as areas of concern for voter fraud.
Unfortunately, KS isn't all that important in the grand scheme of politics. We have roughly 1% of the US population, and only 6 Electoral College votes. We don't get much attention.
