Accord Nears on Kansas Five District Redraw Plan
Kansas Republicans push a proposed redistricting plan to rebalance five congressional districts to within about 5 percent of the average population. The plan shifts Wyandotte and Jefferson counties and moves several counties between the 1st, 4th, and 5th districts while keeping northern 1st District intact and aiming for roughly 415,000 to 456,000 residents per district. Democratic critics question whether 5 percent variation meets the federal court mandate for near equality.
