Confused about mail-in ballots? You're not alone. Mail-in ballots in Kansas had a three-day grace period to arrive and be counted as long as they were postmarked by Election Day.

Last year, Sofia Galvan KAKE reports, the legislature passed a law that eliminated the three-day grace period, but a judge granted an injunction. This injunction put the law on hold, and today the Supreme Court upheld that.

This article explains the maneuver called the triple play. When the triple play happened, the majority of Kansans voted to change from a direct vote method to place Kansas Supreme Court Justices to a merit-based method.

How could changing back to a direct vote method affect other issues in Kansas? Read the article:

An August constitutional amendment vote would change from merit-based nominations to electing Kansas Supreme Court justices. It would give voters the ability to directly pick Kansas Supreme Court justices, but critics say the ripple effects would be massive.

"For many decades, Kansas has used a a merit-based process to select justices (as do 23 other states)."

Read about Kansas' merit based process to select Kansas Supreme Court Justices and how you can watch their process.

If Kansas changes the way we select state supreme court justices there would be no way to ensure that justices are qualified.

Sixteen of the “Silent Sentinels,” the group of suffragists who picketed in front of the White House for two and a half years for women’s suffrage, were arrested on this day in 1917. The women were charged with “obstructing traffic” and sentenced to 60 days in jail at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia. The Silent Sentinels were organized by the National Woman’s Party, led by suffrage leaders Alice Paul and Lucy Burns. The vigil began on January 10, 1917 and continued every day and night, except Sunday, until June 1919 when the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution passed both the House and the Senate.
