曼恩击败科巴克当选堪萨斯州总检察长 优势约一个百分点
美联社于11月6日晚确认，民主党人克里斯·曼恩在堪萨斯州总检察长竞选中击败现任共和党人克里斯·科巴克，赢得这一全州职位。曼恩以约一个百分点的优势胜出，两人相差约1.3万票。这是两人2022年竞选的重赛，当年曼恩以约一个百分点惜败；此次获胜使他成为自2011年以来堪萨斯州首位民主党籍总检察长，将于明年1月上任。
曼恩曾任警察与怀恩多特县检察官，竞选主打支持地方执法、保护消费者、让总检察长办公室远离党派政治。他在11月4日凌晨已宣布胜选，但科巴克当时未认输，美联社直到6日晚才正式确认结果。科巴克自2023年1月起担任总检察长，以在移民与选举安全问题上的强硬立场在全国闻名。
此次结果是堪萨斯州民主党在本次中期选举中多场胜利之一，民主党同时在州长与联邦参议员竞选中领先。州务卿办公室已启动例行 close-race 审计程序，对票数接近的竞选进行核查。

Mann Defeats Kobach to Become Kansas Attorney General by About One Point
The Associated Press confirmed on the evening of Nov. 6 that Democrat Chris Mann defeated incumbent Republican Kris Kobach in the race for Kansas attorney general. Mann won by roughly one percentage point, a margin of about 13,000 votes. The race was a rematch of 2022, when Mann lost by about one point; his victory makes him Kansas's first Democratic attorney general since 2011, and he takes office next January.
Mann, a former police officer and Wyandotte County prosecutor, campaigned on supporting local law enforcement, protecting consumers and keeping the attorney general's office out of partisan politics. He declared victory in the early hours of Nov. 4, but Kobach did not concede at the time, and the AP did not confirm the result until the evening of Nov. 6. Kobach has served as attorney general since January 2023 and is nationally known for hard-line positions on immigration and election security.
The result was one of several Kansas Democratic victories in this midterm election, with Democrats also leading in the governor's and U.S. Senate races. The Secretary of State's office has begun its routine close-race audit procedures to review contests decided by narrow margins.
