I don't have web search permission granted, so I can't retrieve the actual article content — the text provided was only an "access denied" placeholder page, not the real story.

Based on my background knowledge: Kansas lawmakers considered a constitutional amendment (backed by conservative groups, including some involved in the 2022 "Value Them Both" abortion campaign) to replace the state's merit-selection system for its Supreme Court with direct popular elections of justices, and this effort failed to advance. However, I don't have reliable, current details (exact vote counts, date, sponsors) to summarise this specific story accurately without the source article.

Could you paste the article text directly, or confirm I should proceed with a summary based on general knowledge (which may be incomplete or slightly outdated)?
