Kansas Republicans prepare to move on redistricting [View all]
https://punchbowl.news/article/campaigns/kansas-gop-redistricting/Republicans in the Kansas legislature are planning to petition to call themselves into a special session on redistricting, circumventing Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly.
An announcement could happen soon, per sources with knowledge of the plans.
This special session would be the beginning of a lengthy process to try and draw Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids out of her Kansas City-based district. This push, which comes amid White House pressure, is the newest front in the nationwide redistricting wars.
Republicans can force the governor to call a special session if a supermajority of lawmakers sign a petition. The Kansas legislature has a GOP supermajority in both chambers.
