Reapportionment by Three Judges for Kansas Senate
A special three judge federal panel issued a stop gap plan for Kansas Senate apportionment for the 1968 elections. It calls six Sedgwick County, four Johnson County, three Wyandotte County, and three Shawnee Wabaunsee districts to run at large. The court noted failure to draw compact districts and lacked population data for intra district lines. It also flagged a Board of Education district issue not raised in the hearing and urged early clarification.
