that was the scene in kansas after resounding victory for abortion rights at the polls. kansans voted overwhelmingly to protect the right to an abortion in the constitution. not only was the result surprising in a state s conservative as kansas but, the margin wasn t even close. kansas voters rejected the anti-abortion measure by nearly 20 points and what s remarkable about the outcome is that kansas republicans did everything they possibly could to stack the deck in their favor. for starters, they scheduled the vote during a typically low turnout august primary instead of during the general election in november, because yesterday s primary focused mostly republican candidates running against each other and would presumably attract mostly republican voters. they made the language of the ballot measures so dense and confusing that the normal person would be hard-pressed to decipher at first glance what s a yes or a no vote even meant. republican groups even blasted out a barra
