Focus on the US midterm elections: One of this year's surprising swing states is Kansas. Current Republican Senator Roger Marshall is facing an unusually intense election campaign, and the state has not elected a Democratic senator since Prohibition. He is currently facing three major challenges: high gasoline and diesel prices, which are particularly painful for farmers and ranchers; outside criticism of his billing and debt collection practices during his time as a rural obstetrician; and his opponent, Adam Hamilton, is a large church minister with mild rhetoric. About one-third of the state's population is concentrated in the northeastern Kansas region, which is also home to Hamilton's hometown and base camp, including the affluent suburbs surrounding Kansas City. In recent years, these suburbs have clearly turned to support the Democratic Party. According to the Kansas Secretary of State's office, the results of the first mail-in ballots and early voting are expected to be announced from these counties around 8:30 p.m. EST.
