Kansas: Amendment to Sheriff law includes ability for recall passes

On Election Day, Kansas passed (62-38%) a Constitutional Amendment passed which would allow the Kansas legislature to block counties from appointing rather than electing County Sheriffs. Only one County, doesn't have an elected sheriff. The amendment would also list recalls and an Attorney General initiated writ of quo warranto provision to be the only way to remove the sheriff. Apparently, the Attorney General would have the power to start a recall (who already has that power), not local D.A.s.
