No, and especially TeriLois, at least gets her out of the county!

We felt the same way here in Johnson County when she moved!

TerriLois and 5 other state reps moved quickly after the Thursday night ruling. And of the six, only 1 legislator -- Pauls -- was legally challenged. It's pretty messed up the way Kansas law defines a qualifying "residence" for a candidate to file for a state office.
I would send a letter to the Secretary of State's office, but I know Kobach has a very busy travel schedule and tends to misplace ... er ... not receive things.

Try sending something anyway. I am sure it will make you feel better.

And ironically, Pauls didn't move. That challenge was about paperwork.

Paul's did move. She move to a church she was renovating to eventually move to.

No, they should only be allowed to move during daylight hours... You just knew someone would say it didn't you!

I have a bigger problem with Kobach not extending the filing deadline and with reassigning Republican candidates to other districts. Is it unreasonable to expect the Secretary of State to administer elections fairly and without prejudice for political party?

Someone mentioned previously that it would be a good idea to require a year of residency in a district before being permitted to run. I concur.
chootspa 11 months, 1 week ago
Six months minimum. I agree.

TerriLois is just an embarrassment.

No I would have liked to see Terri Lois for a few more terms here

It would have at least been entertaining when she got busted again for secretly recording a conversation. She's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

This year presented an unusual situation where districts were changed at the last minute and often shifting constituents to another district.
Even if it were not an unusual year I say why put in more red tape. The voters in the district can decide if the recent move is material or not.
We should encourage more candidates not fewer.
JayCat_67 11 months, 1 week ago
Of course they should, as long as I like the candidate that said move benefits. Otherwise, heck no!
Centerville 11 months, 1 week ago
Hum , if there had been a minimum requirement for residency, Paul Davis wouldn't be in the legislature.

Money wins. Money grins. Money kicks our po' folk limbs. Oh, money...where f'art thou? Kickin' my limbs!? Money wince! Money's grim! Money kicks our po' folk limbs.
