That's still pretty high and after yesterday the pro-lifers are not going to take any state for granted.

The sad part is that I think she won...amazing times.

Article 14 of the Kansas Constitution is labeled Constitutional Amendment and Revision. It has two sections. The two sections lay out the two paths by which the Kansas Constitution can be altered.

One path is the legislatively referred constitutional amendment. Either house of the Kansas State Legislature can propose an amendment to the state's constitution. Two-thirds of the members of each chamber must approve the resolution. If they do, the proposed amendment goes on either the next statewide ballot during which members of the state legislature are elected, or on a special election ballot if the legislature agrees to have a special election for this purpose.

If a simple majority of the electors of the state who vote on the proposition agree with it, it becomes part of the constitution.
The legislature must say what the measure's ballot title will be in their resolution authorizing it.
If there is more than one proposed amendment, voters must be able to vote on them separately.
At most five amendments can be proposed for one election.
An amendment is allowed to revise one entire article of the constitution, "except the article on general provisions."

Another path is through a constitutional convention. If two-thirds of the members of each house of the state legislature vote in favor, the question "Shall there be a convention to amend or revise the constitution of the state of Kansas?" or "Shall there be a convention limited to revision of article(s) ________ of the constitution of the state of Kansas?" shall be placed on a statewide ballot. If a simple majority of those voting on that question say "yes," there shall be a convention. Any amendments or revisions that come out of the convention must go before the state's voters.
