A hand recount of votes in Sedgwick County confirmed a landslide victory for Kansas abortion rights on Sunday, but confusion surrounding a missed deadline has given fuel to recount backers who vow to keep challenging the results of the Aug. 2 election.

The hand recount in Sedgwick County verified that the Value Them Both amendment, which sought to remove abortion rights from the Kansas Constitution, failed by a wide margin in the state’s second largest county, as it did statewide.

The overall statewide vote tally changed by less than one-tenth of one percentage point with the Sedgwick County recount.

But Mark Gietzen, a Wichita anti-abortion activist who is spreading unfounded conspiracy theories about voting fraud and helped pay for the recount, said he plans to refuse to pay an estimated $31,800 for the Sedgwick County recount unless the ballots are counted for a third time. He said he planned to sue the secretary of state on Monday, seeking a full hand recount of every race in the state in the August primary.

Did you request the recount dumbass? Then you pay for it.

Guess being a deadbeat is now considered a Republican virtue.

On edit: Activist offers to pay for Kansas' recount of abortion vote

Mark Gietzen, who leads the group Kansas Republican Assembly, told the Kansas City Star he wants to pay for the recount that Melissa Leavitt, of Colby, requested because he believes it could change the outcome. The 165,000-vote difference in the election makes that unlikely, however.

Gietzen said fundraising and his own money would be used. The Kansas Republican Assembly is significantly to the right of the state Republican Party and isn’t affiliated with the GOP-led legislature.

2. Wait. You mean they didn't get the money up front?

3. That's what I was wondering.

It's crazy when you're dealing with these magats to not get the money first, then do the recount.

4. They just cannot believe....

...that their beliefs are not shared by everyone, which shows how out-of-touch they are.

5. No, they can't believe

their beliefs don’t count more than everyone else’s

6. Won't pay until a recount reflects the outcome he wants.

Seems like a felonny crime against the State - demanding a service, then refusing to pay for it. Maybe in the future, get the payment first before allowing a recount?
