Supreme Court upholds biennial election law on gubernatorial appointees
The Kansas Supreme Court sustains the Biennial Election Law as it pertains to governor appointive vacancies, striking down challenges to the act as unconstitutional. Chief Justice Doster dissents, arguing the measure impinges on protections and future appointments, while Justices Elin and others detail the statute’s design to fill interim terms via gubernatorial appointments. The ruling names William Thompson, A. T. Geiger, Judge Andrews, and J. Mabrite as affected incumbents, with successors named as Robert Helzner, Judge Hamilton, Charles Dighton, and Jamie Lawrence. The court’s long opinion clarifies the act’s validity and impact on state offices.
