2. What makes you think Brownback really won the election?

KS has probably got the most corrupt voting machines in the country. The average Repub tilt (the % the so-called actual vote, i.e., the machine counted purported vote tallies, diverges from the unadjusted exit polls) according to Election Defense Alliance, is about 7%. Add to that the fact that sec of state Kobach has done everything in his power to suppress the vote of voters throughout the state, and it's pretty easy to see how Brownshirt was anointed gov. I doubt very seriously he would be the gov today if all the voters could have voted who wanted to vote and were eligible to vote and if hand-counted paper ballots had been used and not machines. Even if the pre-election polls have Hillary beating Trump by 10 points the day before this November's vote, I would put money on Trump.

Anyway, when you say Brownshirt "was STILL voted in again to represent the state of Kansas and it's citizens," you might keep that in mind. In point of fact, KS voters are not as stupid as they are made out to be. The real problem is that US doesn't have a democracy anymore.
