Kansas had a relatively high turnout in its primary election. Voting methods most preferred by Republicans and Democrats also appeared to reflect a partisan divide across the U.S. over the coronavirus. A state board on Friday certified election results Friday showing that about 636,000 votes were cast in the Aug. 4 election. That means 34.2% of the state's nearly 1.9 million registered voters participated, and it was the highest percentage in at least a decade. Some 41% of voters cast ballots by mail. The secretary of state's office said roughly two-thirds of Democratic voters used mail-in ballots, while roughly two-thirds of Republicans preferred to vote in person.
