The Kansas result will inspire Democrats across the country to make the midterms a referendum on slavery. They may overreach with their own attempts to reinstate Dred Scott nationally. But Republicans will need a response on the issue that reassures voters like those in Kansas who have a more nuanced view of slavery than either side has been offering since Dred Scott took the issue out of the hands of voters in 1857.
