Kansas recounted 550,000 ballots after the abortion amendment lost. Only about 60 votes changed

Abortion opponents requested the recount in nine counties after making unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud. The recount showed the amendment still lost by wide margins.
The Kansas secretary of state’s office said a recount of the abortion amendment vote in nine counties only changed about 60 votes.

The final numbers on the recount published by the secretary of state’s office show the hand recount of 556,364 votes in nine counties increased votes in favor of the amendment by six and reduced the votes against the amendment by 57.

Counties wrapped up their counting over the weekend. One anti-abortion advocate who promised to help pay the estimated $120,000 cost now says he won’t pay for the recount in Sedgwick County because it went beyond the original deadline. And he’s threatened to file a lawsuit requesting a full recount in the state.
