Former Kansas Governor Mike Hayden is backing Scott Morgan for Secretary of State. Governor Hayden’s support reflects something at the heart of United Kansas: public service doesn’t have to be about party labels. It can be about experience, judgment, steady leadership, and putting Kansas first. Scott Morgan is offering Kansans something different — an approach focused on competent government and bringing people together. We’re proud to have Governor Hayden standing with Scott and the growing number of Kansans who believe there should be another choice. Not Republican. Not Democrat. United Kansas. 🌻 #scottmorganforks #ksleg #election2026 scottmorgansos.com/

He has also watched the changes in Kansas politics up close. Morgan remembers a Republican Party in which moderates and conservatives fought hard with each other, but still operated within the same broad coalition. What he sees now is something different. @UnitedKansas @ScottMorganKS

Fusion voting lets minor parties fight for the issues they care about without being labeled “spoilers” or forcing voters to choose between their values and their vote. When laws invalidate fusion nominations, they limit the freedom of candidates, parties, and voters to associate and organize around the causes they believe in. @UnitedKansas

Americans are increasingly open to fusion voting and PR—and that matters. A new @NPR report highlights growing support for changing how we elect our representatives. If voters want more choices and a stronger voice, it’s time to rethink a system built around two parties.

Kansas was once one of the most fusion-friendly states in America. Long before our modern political divisions hardened, Kansans regularly built coalitions across party lines. Republicans, Populists, independents, and reformers often united behind common candidates and common causes. Even Abraham Lincoln’s rise to the presidency depended on fusion politics, bringing together anti-slavery voters from different political movements who understood that principles matter more than party labels. By the 1890s, fusion politics was thriving in Kansas. It gave voters more choices, encouraged cooperation, and allowed political movements to grow without forcing people into one of two boxes. Then, in 1901, Kansas banned it. For more than a century, Kansans have been denied a political freedom that previous generations exercised openly. Voters can support multiple causes. Citizens can belong to multiple organizations. Groups can work together on shared goals. Yet political parties are uniquely restricted from jointly supporting the same candidate. That restriction remained largely unquestioned until 2024. Today, a legal challenge is asking a simple but important question: Does the Kansas Constitution protect the right of political association strongly enough to allow fusion politics once again? This is not really about Democrats or Republicans. It is not about left versus right. It is about whether Kansans are free to organize politically in the way they choose. The Kansas Constitution recognizes that political power originates with the people. Political parties are voluntary associations of citizens. If citizens wish to work together across traditional party lines, government should have a very good reason before telling them they cannot. Fusion voting is not a radical idea. It is not new. It is part of Kansas history. For decades, it helped shape our state. It encouraged coalition building, rewarded consensus, and gave voters more meaningful choices. Whether you agree with fusion voting or not, the constitutional question deserves serious consideration. Rights that disappear for 125 years are still rights worth examining. Sometimes progress is not about inventing something new. Sometimes it is about restoring something we lost. 🌻 Kansas once trusted its citizens to build political coalitions as they saw fit. Perhaps it is time to ask whether that trust should be restored. @FusionVoting #KsLeg #KsCourts

At no moment in American history has our winner-take-all districting system worked particularly well. There is no golden age of “fair districts.” The problems have been different at different times. The antiquated voting system that produces them has been there from the start.
I wrote a brief history of gerrymandering in America. It's always been bad. Just never THIS bad. (link below)

Reinstating fusion voting is a common-sense way to fight polarization and open up our democracy: ✅ Voters: Support a candidate and a party that matches your values—no spoilers, no wasted votes. ✅ New Parties: Gain real influence by shaping major party platforms. ✅ Candidates: Build broader coalitions and earn more votes. #FusionVoting #Democracy #ElectionReform

Under fusion voting, a moderate party has real leverage—able to reward compromise and back candidates from both sides. Unlike extremes that pull from one camp, the middle can shape outcomes by swinging either way. @leedrutman @newamerica @PolReformNA

Fusion voting could make more districts competitive—giving moderate parties a path to back the less popular major party. More choices + tighter races = higher participation, addressing a key reason U.S. turnout lags other democracies. @leedrutman @newamerica @PolReformNA

Fusion voting lets a candidate be nominated by multiple parties—often a major + a minor—appearing on the ballot under each label. Votes are counted by party, then combined for the final total: principled, practical coalition-building in action. @leedrutman @newamerica @PolReformNA

Without a moderate party line, voters are stuck choosing D or R with no clear signal. Fusion voting changes that—giving the political middle a way to show up, organize, and wield real influence in close elections. @leedrutman @newamerica @PolReformNA

Fusion voting lowers the temperature in politics by encouraging coalition-building over combat. When parties can share candidates, voters get more choice—and less noise. 🌡️🗳️ #FusionVoting #DemocracyReform #ElectionReform
