    The titular mirror stands over the corner of 21st Street and Wellman Road, the closest point from the paved road to my new election site: Sarcoxie Township station #2.

    As I usually do, I share my election picks after my ballot is in the collection box. Kansas Governor: Without question, I chose incumbent governor Jeff Colyer.
