On November 5, voters in Kansas City, Missouri, chose to reverse the city council's decision to rename Paseo Boulevard after Martin Luther King, Jr. and filled two open seats in the Missouri House with Democrats. In Kansas, Wyandotte County voters largely re-elected incumbents with one notable exception.
Other, and eventually official, results are available from the Wyandotte County Election Office, Johnson County Election Office, Kansas City Election Board, Jackson County Election Board, Clay County Board of Election Commissioners and the Platte County Elections Board.
