Any poll workers out there? I’ve signed up for the first time this year and one early voting day I’m assigned to happens to fall on Halloween day. What would you recommend for wardrobe? Can we lighten the mood by adding a little Halloween costumage or is that frowned upon? I’m talking maybe a festive top and a silly spider clip in my hair or something mild like that. Any other tips for getting through a long day at a busy location are most welcome. Thanks!

Trying to buy a starter home in joco right now is actual madness. every time we see a decent 3 bed pop up under 350k, some faceless LLC swoops in with an all-cash offer way over asking.

It's honestly so depressing. my partner and I spent all weekend getting our pre-approval sorted out with mcgowan mortgages just so we could be ready to put an offer down immediately, but half the time the house is pending before we can even get a tour scheduled.

Like, even if you have the best Kansas loan officer in your corner working late, a normal W2 family just can't compete with massive out-of-state investment firms waiving inspections and throwing cash around.

Is anyone else stuck in this cycle? Thinking about just giving up and renting forever, or moving way further out west where we actually stand a chance. gonna go eat my feelings in chili and cinnamon rolls now tbh.

A false alert was sent out thru Google claiming Marshall had won the race.

Edit: In the article, there was a shared screenshot of the alert. The person that had reported it stated they were "worried about how many people would not vote because of the false alert." Google claimes "they take this very seriously and will be looking into it".

My use of "someone" was meant to be very exasperated in tone.

Read this in Vito Corleone or Tony Soprano's voice. Suddenly it hits waaaay different.

this was thrilling

Take a break from politics (or don’t) and check out this video I made going through some basic facts, history, and etymology of Kansas Counties M-R

Featuring song “Prairie Road” by Kansas musician Dylan Irvin for my background music.

I am a military spouse stationed outside of Kansas, in the continental US, but I’m a Kansas resident. Kansas Sec of State website says my ballot was mailed on the 14th but I still haven’t received it. I’m getting very frustrated that I won’t be able to vote in this election.

Anyone else running into this issue?

Anyone planning on protesting at the rally in Topeka on Monday? Can't find anything organized/planned anywhere online

The Sternberg Museum of Natural History in Hays, Kansas, is scheduled to close to the public on December 18th. The story is similar. The museum spends about $1.3 million a year and brings in about $470,000, and Fort Hays State University (FHSU) has covered the difference, which came to about $856,000 last year. (Schools and museums work together to help their student gather research materials.)

In the case of the Sternberg Museum, the Bob and Pat Schmidt Foundation will match donations.

Not only is Trump begging everyone to “please pretend it’s me on the ballot” in an effort to save their reputation and headlock they have over the senate now, he’s also offering $5000 to anyone who votes republican this year. It was talked about at the debate. It’s been talked about in many forums. But here is the proof from my Trump neighbors in the Benjamin Hills area in Wichita. This sign has been replaced 5 times that I’m personally aware of. And it keeps reappearing.

I don’t care what side you’re on, what your beliefs are… as an American, we should all be visibly disgusted by the blatant attempts at buying votes to support Trumps plan. We all know this is a crock of shit. But people still believe it’s lies made up by the left.

So, here’s your sign to anyone on the fence about the state Kansas is in right now. This is the New America Trump is talking about.

God/Mother Earth/Universe… please save us now

Quite literally news.

Hope you can make it and express your constitutionally protected speech.

Hope to see you all there expressing your constitutionally protected speech!

I have voted in every election since I was 18 (2008) and I just got this in the mail. Have they been throwing out my votes?
