Kansas' new congressional map will face a lawsuit in state court, the leader of a national Democratic group that's supported legal fights over redistricting in other states promised Thursday.
Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, called the map gerrymandered and said a court challenge would come within a couple days.
"Republicans diluted voices of the most populous and diverse region of the state for partisan gain," Holder, who led the U.S. Department of Justice under President Barack Obama, told reporters on a conference call.
