TOPEKA ( KSNT ) – Kansas election workers have completed two close-race audits Thursday impacting two seats in the Kansas Legislature.
Whitney Tempel with the Kansas Secretary of State’s (SOS) office announced in a press release on Nov. 14 that audits for Kansas Senate District 5 for Wyandotte and Leavenworth Counties and Kansas House District 49 for Johnson County have been completed. These audits were triggered following the Nov. 5 General Election .
