Parties and politicians in Kansas election power plays
Burdett Loomis of the University of Kansas analyzes Kansas Republican moves since 2012 to alter elections, broaden party control, and hinder voter access. He argues the actions are partisan power grabs to shape future electorates while not addressing genuine problems, echoing Plunkitt's view on party self-preservation.

Brownback economic growth defended by Kansas leaders
Jeff Colyer and Pat George respond to criticisms of Gov. Brownback’s policies. They claim 45,400 jobs created since January 2011, 20,500 in the last year, unemployment under 5 percent, and a shift from deficit to a $700 million surplus. They cite tax receipts above projections and continued education funding as proof of policy success.
