While Kansas has a Democratic governor, I wouldn’t call it a blue state. State Congress is likely all red. This was likely a ballot measure and the people voted on it. The governor just put into law what the people voted on. Nothing more.
So I looked into this being from Kansas it kind of pissed me off. Turns out she won with like 49% where the Rs got only 47 and two different third parties took about 4%. So Rs were pushing for it thinking those that cast third party would put them next over the Dem, while calling them wasted and spoiled votes. So this was proposed by the Wichita mayor under the guise that RCV was too complicated for people to understand, and likely kelly signed the ban because of fear she might lose her minor majority. Total fucking bullshit politics as usual.

Sounds like them. Capitulating to Republicans because of fear.

Ah so the one time it happened it doesn’t count.
By that logic, California is a red state because Schwarzenegger was Governor at one point.
Yes it was. California had a Republican in charge the people liked and kept around. Only really because he was an actor.
If Schwarzenegger was a random nobody, he wouldn’t have won the recall.
So California is a red state? Got it.
Was. Newsom is a Democrat.
I want you to tell people California was a red state from 2003 to 2011. Please do it and record it.
