The political landscape

Kansas is a Republican-leaning state with a pragmatic streak: its suburban Johnson County has become genuinely competitive, and statewide contests have occasionally broken from the partisan default, including on ballot measures.

Its largest population centers include Wichita, Overland Park, Topeka. Where a state's people live, and what those places do for a living, is the starting point for how Electorate HQ simulations reason about it.
