MissouriKanas blew MO out of the waterhttps://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/election/article264147101.htmlVoters flocked to the polls in significant numbers Tuesday in the Kansas City area, particularly on the Kansas side of the state line. Statewide, Kansas’ turnout was far greater than Missouri’s: around 47% of Kansas voters cast a ballot, while only around 24% of Missouri voters did. Of the counties that make up the Kansas City metro area, Johnson County saw by far the highest turnout at 53.7%. While not as high as the state’s average of about 47%, Wyandotte County came in second place with nearly 35% turnout—higher than any of the Missouri counties in the metro.The Big One: Dems passing legislation Inflation Reduction Act (the IRA?)
