This was my first election and I really thought I’d done my research. I missed that judge retention was on the ballot. While silently panicking that I didn’t know who to retain and who to drop, I voted not to retain a couple judges appointed by someone I would not have agreed with (in my mind it was like voting against Trump appointees). As many are pointing out, if Ty Masterson wins, he will be appointing judges for any not retained. While I don’t think it’ll come down to my single vote, I wanted to put out a PSA for anyone considering judge retention. This year it may be safest to retain our current judges.

so, you’re saying there’s a chance…

I voted in Johnson County this morning and voted no on the proposition to restrict voting to citizens only. Seems like a no-brainer to vote yes, but I voted no because the amendment's language doesn't match the explanation. The overview explanation says, "Explanatory statement. This amendment would clarify that only a person who is a citizen of the United States is eligible to vote in this state."

But the amendment's language switches to the term "qualified elector." I know this may seem minor, but this kind of vagueness leaves room to argue what it means. It never clearly states that "voter" and "elector" are synonyms. The amendment will be immediately challenged in court and probably lose because the authors didn't do thier due diligence.

Also, the amendment doesn't guarantee a right to vote. Other constitutional amendments may cover that, but why define it with a NEW amendment? That's the kind of thing government policy defines, and Congress ratifies.

I fully acknowledge this seems small. However, given the nature of our republic, it's important for us voters to dig into the details our representative will use to cover for thier actions.

If the amendment on the Nov. 3rd ballot is adopted, besides making registering to vote more complex, it will also cost the state millions to implement.

From “State Voices”, Dec. 11, 2025

Our latest release is a comprehensive report that exposes what Documentary Proof of Citizenship (DPOC) laws really are: Costly, error-prone, and unjust.

As states across the country consider DPOC requirements in the wake of the federal SAVE Act’s return, we deserve clarity and transparency from our elected officials, not obfuscation and misinformation.

Our research shows that a DPOC system can cost a state millions of dollars to implement, maintain, and defend. Requiring applicants to present proof of citizenship significantly slows down and complicates the voter registration process. For each jurisdiction that passes such a bill, election officials need to develop and implement procedures for evaluating every applicant’s citizenship documents and recording the results. This involves changing voter registration forms, contacting voters about registration deficiencies, overhauling online databases, implementing data privacy protections for digital copies of documents, retraining all election officials to recognize and handle DPOC, accounting for staff time to review copies of DPOC, and, if a state’s law mandates it, devoting additional staff time to ongoing voter roll purges.
