Charts of Kansas Advance Ballots: Party, Gender, Age
Party age distributions by gender: Democrats - highly skewed female, Unaffiliated voters - slightly skewed male, Republicans - roughly balanced
This article is based on Advance Ballot data from the Kansas Secretary of State’s office on Monday showing nearly 30,000 additional ballots compared with yesterday’s article with data from Friday.
That article showed there were nearly 106,000 more women Democrats in Kansas than male Democrats. Charts in this article explore that difference.
Statewide
Here’s a summary that is very similar to Friday’s data. The charts below reflect this table.
Statewide all age intervals show more female advance ballots cast than male advance ballots cast.
Political Parties
Political party seems to explain differences in the female-to-male ratio of advance ballots cast across age intervals.
Democratic Party
The Democratic Party plot is similar to the statewide plot, but the ratio of female-to-male advance ballots is much greater, especially in age intervals roughly from 50 to 80.
Republican Party
For Republicans casting advance ballots the female-to-male ratio is close to one until ages 80+ when female life expectancy becomes larger than male life expectancy.
Unaffiliated Voters
Unlike Democrats or Republicans, the male-to-female ratio of advance ballots cast is often greater than one for Unaffiliated voters.
Congressional Districts
The profile of the Third District appears to be much different from the other three districts with more voters of most ages below 50 or so.
First District
Second District
Third District
Fourth District
Notice there were twice as many mail in ballots in the 3rd district (mostly extra crooked johnson county) as compared to the other districts?
Thanks for compiling this.
