Kansas to recount abortion vote by hand, despite big margin [View all]

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas’ elections director says the state will go along with a request for a hand recount
of votes from every county after last week’s decisive statewide vote affirming abortion rights, even though
there was a 165,000-vote difference and a recount won’t change the result.

Melissa Leavitt, of Colby in far western Kansas, requested the recount and declined to comment to reporters
Friday evening, citing work obligations. But she said on an online site raising funds for a recount that she had
“seen data” about the election. Her post was not more specific, and there is no evidence of significant
problems with the election.

Baseless election conspiracies have circulated widely in the U.S., particularly among supporters of former
President Donald Trump, who has repeated false claims that he lost the 2020 election through fraud.

Kansas law requires Leavitt to post a bond to cover the entire cost of the recount.

Hope it costs her her life savings to find out there is no election fraud.
