Nine Kansas counties must hand recount votes for the defeated state constitutional amendment on abortion after advocates raised $120,000 to pay for the effort. The largely symbolic recount won't change the result of the election.
Some Kansas counties are rushing to collect staff and start a hand recount of abortion amendment votes after an advocacy group demanded a partial recount despite a decisive loss.
The nine counties selected for the recount have just five days to finish the process. But officials for some of the largest counties involved said they are still confident they will be able to finish in time.

Don't go complaining about government waste when you push for a useless recount

..."The scaled down version of the recount will cost nearly $120,000. Leavitt continues to raise money online, collecting more than $45,000 as of Tuesday.
Tempel said Wichita anti-abortion activist Mark Geitzen paid $118,000 of the bond through a credit card. The remaining $1,500 was paid through a credit card from an unnamed third party.
The recount is not being supported by the main advocacy group that pushed for the amendment. The Value Them Both Coalition was the main force behind the amendment, and that group accepted defeat on election night after the loss became clear.
“This outcome is a temporary setback,” the group said after the loss, “and our dedicated fight to value women and babies is far from over.”
The Value Them Both Coalition and the powerful advocacy group Kansans For Life have instead shifted their focus to the fall election and the coming legislative session."
