Kansas legislature overrides governor's veto on new House maps

Kansas House Republicans voted Wednesday to force new U.S. House district maps into law, overriding Gov. Laura Kelly's (D) veto by a narrow margin in a move likely to cost Democrats a seat in Congress.

Republicans got off to a rough start Monday (2/7), when the state Senate fell a few votes short of mustering the necessary supermajority to implement the new maps, though they cajoled a few recalcitrant senators into changing their votes on Tuesday (2/8). By Wednesday (2/9), House Republicans mustered 85 votes to override the veto, one more than the 84 they needed to do so.

The new maps will make substantial changes to district lines in Wyandotte County, the state's largest and home of Kansas City. Currently, Wyandotte County makes up most of a district held by Rep. Sharice Davids (D), the lone Democrat to represent the state in Congress. The new map would divide Wyandotte County along Interstate 70, relocating a substantial number of Davids's current constituents into a neighboring district held by Rep. Jake LaTurner (R). Davids's district would move south and east, picking up parts of Miami County and all of Franklin and Anderson counties - all three conservative bastions that former President Trump carried easily in 2020.
