Parkinson says Douglas County is key to solving redistricting as Kansas plans to redraw districts after the new census. Lawrence and much of Douglas County are urged to stay in the 3rd District while Republicans push to shrink that district and move Lawrence toward the 2nd.

Population shifts fuel growth in West and South states
The 1990s saw fastest growth in the South and West as aging Baby Boomers moved to warmer regions and workers left manufacturing hubs. Immigrants from Asia, the Caribbean and South America accounted for about 40 percent of gains, with California and Texas leading in population. Reapportionment gave several states extra House seats, while New York and Pennsylvania lost seats. Census officials credited high participation and estimated accuracy, noting prior undercounts and improvements in response rates.
