Kansas governor race: what the forecasters say

Cindy Holscher (D) vs Ty Masterson (R) · candidates as listed by Race to the WH

The seat is held by a Democrat. Inside Elections and Race to the WH favor the Republican. They lean the same way, but at least one rates the race close, so it is graded as a battleground. 1 rating change caught since Oct 21, the latest Oct 28, 6:09 PM ET.

Result: after Nov 3. Once the race is called, the result appears on this page, and each forecaster’s final rating, sealed before the polls close, is graded under the published rules.

How this race will be graded

Every forecast on this page is sealed before the vote. Once the race is called, a right call earns 1 point, a Toss-up ½ and a wrong call 0, the same rule for both. Cook, Sabato, Silver and other raters get their own table on the scoreboard.
