Exhibit #229000 showing that Republicans hate elections that don't go their way

From the Kansas City Star -

Republican group’s credit card was offered to pay for Kansas abortion amendment recount

A credit card belonging to the Kansas Republican Assembly was provided to advance a statewide recount of the abortion amendment vote expected to cost more than $229,000, said Mark Gietzen, the group’s president and a strident anti-abortion activist. 

The amendment, called Value Them Both, would have stripped abortion rights from the Kansas Constitution. Instead the measure suffered a landslide 59% to 41% defeat, with 165,000 more voters rejecting the proposal than supporting it. 

Melissa Leavitt, of Colby, requested a recount of the vote before a 5 p.m. Friday deadline. Kansas requires a bond for the cost of the recount before it begins, and a crowd-funding page had raised less than $5,000 as of Saturday afternoon.
