The Kansas Supreme Court upheld the state’s congressional map in a ruling Wednesday, reversing a lower court opinion that found the map unfairly favored Republicans and harmed minority voters.
The map, which splits Democrat-leaning Wyandotte County, means a tougher road to reelection for Rep. Sharice Davids, the state’s lone Democrat in Congress.
The two-page opinion from Justice Caleb Stegall reversed the lower court ruling against the map and promised a more substantial ruling later.
