Republican Ron Estes wins in 4th District congressional race

McClatchy News
Update 9:43 p.m.: The Associated Press says Republican Ron Estes has won the special House election to replace Mike Pompeo. He has 52 percent of the vote to Democrat James Thompson’s 47 percent with 519 of 620 precincts counted.
Update: 9:35 p.m.: Sedgwick County election officials had counted about half the county’s votes by 9:30 as some problems cropped up with the county’s new voting machines.
Election Commissioner Tabitha Lehman said she “kind of expected” that counting would be somewhat slower as workers adapt to the new technology, which uses a touch-screen machine to produce a ballot card that is then fed into a separate counting machine.
