@CHanley_Digital @A_Hens83 He played in the Little Apple, and K-State is the better for it!

That was an exciting few moments. Thank you to @Topekafire for making sure the newsroom and building were safe.

With two southwest Kansas communities hurting right now seemed appropriate and necessary to bring this story back to the forefront. Mental health needs to be a priority and talked about. Share the courage and share with someone. Anyone.

My recap of what has or is likely to change with Kansas' criminal code after this year's #ksleg session, including some we haven't covered, such as removing spousal exception for sexual battery #crime https://t.co/8Q0K0KKsl4

@KeriStrahler Yes, thank you, Keri.

@Celia_LJ I didn’t go back and listen to the whole book again, but I would re-listen to whole chapters of “before we were yours,” by Lisa Wingate and “we were the lucky ones,” by Georgia Hunter.

One of the first voters is Robert, who is voting for the first time as an 18 year old amid [gestures wildly]

"I feel like there are a lot more younger voters now because of social media," he said

Thank you, India!

I arrived at the Shawnee County elections office just after 11 AM and had voted by 11:30 AM. Election workers told me they’ve been seeing an average of 300 people vote an hour. Cars still pulling up for people to join the line. Office closes at noon.

[Tomari Quinn @Tomari_TCJ]

Parking lines are a nice 6-foot marker for social distancing at Shawnee County Election Office in-person early voting. Less than 45 minutes left.

[Tomari Quinn @Tomari_TCJ]

@baylorgrad Hope so. It’s moving pretty fast. Probably 40 people behind me since I walked up a few minutes ago.

[Tomari Quinn @Tomari_TCJ]

Part of a long line at the Shawnee County Election Office with one hour to go of in-person advance voting.

Just in from the Sedgwick County District Attorney, re: Michael O’Donnell, James Clendenin and Michael Capps.

[Tomari Quinn @Tomari_TCJ]

Shawnee County commissioner Bill Riphahn asked what would prevent another group from painting something bigger or over the top of it.

[CJOnline @CJOnline]

The Home Rule resolution prohibits unauthorized paintings or signage on Shawnee County property. Organizers know it is too late to save this artwork, but are planning a "bigger," "brighter" and "bolder" mural. https://t.co/I7hgrkifPo
