#2 Two weeks ago Roberts was leading both Taylor and Orman by anywhere from 5-10 points. Must be the Donks are assuming that all of Taylor's votes will go to Orman. That's not necessarily a slam dunk. A lot can happen in 2 months.

#6 Orman opened with an unusually well produced ad for a nobody no party. With this is smells like snakes!t.

I have not heard anything solid as to why: could be the hassle of reprinting/reprogramming ballots, could be to prevent these shinanigans, likely both counts. Kansas has been tightening up on voter fraud, the most visible being a photo ID is needed to vote.

This district gained attention during the primaries with Wolf vs. Robertson. This is the Dems trying to sneak one in after a energetic Republican primary.

The larger Dem effort seems to be trying to oust Governor Brownback after 1 term. I don't understand that other than as a general ad for State Congress Dems - they got trounced last election - and maybe sneak one in. Like a veto packed Repub Congress, but the Dems would be able to point at it.
