The Kansas redistricting fight stalls business as lawmakers clash over both state Senate and U.S. House maps. Govorners push to unify Leavenworth County into one district risks forcing incumbent reshuffles. House may tinker with maps if Senate margins disappoint, risking partisan friction between chambers. More than 20 draft congressional maps spark uproar, with critics accusing maps of protecting incumbents rather than communities.
