HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Jason Probst has won re-election to the Kansas House 102 seat after a canvass of votes on Thursday.

Probst held a three-vote lead over Republican John Whitesel at the end of the count on election night. A hand count of several outstanding votes that were unable to be processed by the machine and a handful of mail-in ballots that came in legally between election day and the following Friday increased the incumbent's lead to 22 votes, 3,261 to 3,239.

After the canvass, the count was Probst 3,368 to Whitesel’s 3,337. It was the only race in the county that the canvass could have reversed.
