Boundary change threat to Curtis in Kansas race
Legal challenge by J G Slonecker in Topeka targets boundaries of the First and Fourth congressional districts. If courts rule, Curtis could be left out of the race as nomination was made in his old district. The issue hinges on reapportionment law and the 11th census act, with Kansas facing possible loss or gain of a district and contested vote counting in Shawnee and Pottawatomie counties.
