something I wrote in another thread here. I hope that is ok with you. It is a response not directly to you but to others posting.

Before I do, I want people to remember that there were challenges to this last election. Many people think that Davis won, he should have according to many polls. The votes were never released for scrutiny.

For people who have forgotten or never knew
that the Koch brothers live here. One with the business mostly and the other lives here and runs those businesses from Kansas. These freaks started working on this state many years ago. They learned here. I became aware of them in the 80's, god knows how long they had been quietly messing with things before that. A slow job but they learned their lessons here then began to spread out. Wanna know what is really wrong with Kansas? One mega buck family with a huge corporate influence slowly infiltrating thought and manner in a small area where most of the state sees and hears little outside of what they were telling them. They got that group, figured out what works, and moved from there. Everyone wants to call this state stupid, well yes we are and this is why. If you don't like what is happening where you are then don't spend any amount of energy calling the test group stupid, they never saw what was coming, you know what it is. Stop it. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED, you get to see the how and why and the results. Many people here were nursed at the breast of this family. There was no other voice and why is that? Where were the other voices to counter them? Oh yes, in your more important states. We could have used some support here, ya know? We were not always like this. Sebelius was elected because she was very conservative for the most part and she was running against a freak show that would be considered mainstream now. We were already almost gone then. 

I know every state is getting some of this and some a lot of this but the Koch brothers do not sit in the rooms and meet with your legislators before each big vote. There is not a brother sitting in the room watching the votes. ALEC may be everywhere but Charles Koch is meeting personally here. It is almost impossible to see a way out at this point. 

Do not let your states get Brownbacked. 

One other caution. NEVER allow your party to ignore the "insignificant" states. This is what happens when only one side is represented. So NOW you think we are important, a lot too late and it is not like the party was not warned.

***It is Charles that lives here, after all this I still get them mixed up.
