KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas Senate approved redrawn district lines that appear to retain Republicans' existing supermajority in the chamber Wednesday despite complaints that the process was moving too quickly.
The lines were redrawn as part of the redistricting process the Legislature takes on every 10 years to adjust congressional, legislative and State School Board district lines in accordance with new census data.
The chamber voted 28 to 8 on a map drawn by GOP leaders to ensure 40 Senate districts nearly equal in population as Kansas residents move from rural to urban and suburban areas.
