I suspect it's mostly the voting machines are over-tilted. Normally, there's an avg red tilt of about 7% in KS, not the highest in the land of the free and home of the brave, but I think w/ the last election cycle, the machine mobsters outdid themselves. Kobach, e.g., was in a tight race for Sec of State and ended up winning by 17%. Kobach is continuing to do his share of depriving the weak and helpless of health care and food and other services they need to survive and enriching the powerful and rich by suppressing the vote through photo ID laws and other requirements for voting.
