With a Recount Underway, Will Amanda Adkins Stand With Election Deniers and Conspiracy Theorists?

Adkins must come clean about whether or not she supports abortion amendment recount efforts in Johnson County

After frantic and desperate last-minute measures by election conspiracy theorists, a partial recount of Kansas’ constitutional amendment vote will proceed. Far-right radicals mustered over $100,000 to fund the recount, including over $70,000 for Johnson County, where voters rejected the measure by nearly 100,000 votes.

As the “far-right activist” funding the recount put it: “The recount is step number one. After that, we’re going to do a sampling to find out whether people listed as voting actually voted or if there was some kind of hanky panky going on.”

Now, Amanda Adkins must answer whether or not she stands with this new attack on reproductive freedoms and her party’s unfounded claims of voter fraud.

REMINDER: Adkins said she is “100 percent” behind the failed constitutional amendment that would have allowed the Republican-controlled state legislature to enact a total ban on abortion with no exceptions.

DCCC Spokesperson Johanna Warshaw
“In Johnson County, voters overwhelmingly rejected extreme attacks on their reproductive freedoms – but that hasn’t stopped radical election deniers and conspiracy theorists from working to overthrow the will of voters in KS-03. It’s only a matter of time before Brownback advisor Amanda Adkins joins their dangerous efforts.”
