Why there are no scores here

The Kansas Senate doesn't publish its roll-call votes in a form that Open States, our free public data source, can collect, so we don't have a record of how each member voted. Without votes there's nothing to score. Members are still listed below, and scores will appear automatically if the data becomes available.
