Kansas voters soundly rejected an amendment to the state constitution that would have stripped away abortion rights. A citizen-requested recount left the results largely unchanged in Johnson County.
Voters in Kansas’ largest county overwhelmingly rejected an amendment to strip abortion rights from the Kansas Constitution, according to an official recount that wrapped up Saturday.
The recount tally still left the measure, which would have opened the door for the Legislature to impose an abortion ban, roundly defeated.
Johnson County Election Commissioner Fred Sherman said the county’s election night results showed 79,818 “yes” votes and 174,933 “no” votes.
The recount found only a small change in the vote tally, leaving the outcome the same. Out of 610 precincts in the county, the recount results found 79,798 votes in favor of the amendment and 174,915 votes against.

A state where citizens refuse to be influenced by outside, well-funded propaganda. Good for them.

..."The amendment wouldn’t have changed abortion rules on its own. But it would have essentially wiped out a Kansas Supreme Court ruling in 2019 that said the state constitution guarantees abortion rights. Had the amendment passed, the Legislature could have then passed a ban."
