A mix-up at one Topeka polling place on Election Day meant that some voters received the wrong ballots, so they're getting a do-over. Kit Pittier says she forgot about the make-up election until this morning, and it wasn't easy to fit a trip to the polls into her tight schedule.
More than 400 voters are eligible to re-cast their ballots. The re-vote could change the outcome of one Kansas House race. In the original election, the top finisher led by just over 40 votes.
