State Board of Education:
The good news is that moderates picked up a seat on the board, giving a 7-3 moderate-conservative split. It's clear that Kansans don't want to go through Evolution Wars III, and losers Hedke and Meissner had expressed anti-evolution sentiments.

On the other hand, Kansans still fear gays, strange for folks who claim to condemn Fred Phelps. Christopher Renner lost to anti-evolution incumbent Kathy Martin by 20%. Although Christopher has been 'out' for 28 years, Martin's supporters chose not to make an issue of his orientation until just before election day. Still, most of Renner's financial support came from within his district, whereas Martin was mostly funded by right-wing groups and activists outside of her constituency.

Kansas Senate:
Incumbent Greta Goodwin(D) of Winfield lost her seat to anti-evolutionist Steven Abrams. This gives the far-right Kansas Republican Assembly dominance over the moderate Republicans in the state Senate. Expect a Louisiana-style 'academic freedom' bill in 3, 2, 1, . . .
