Both the Kansas Senate and House this week voted to override Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of a controversial congressional redistricting map.
The map reforms the 3rd District of which Johnson County is a part, splitting off part of Wyandotte County and adding three mostly rural counties to the rest of Wyandotte and Johnson County.
Democrats have called the map “completely gerrymandered” and say Republicans have crafted the map in order to make it harder for Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids to win reelection in November.
Republicans have argued the new map achieves the goal of equalizing populations in the four congressional districts in the state.
Though the map is now law, it’s likely to face legal challenges in federal court before November’s midterm election.
Johnson County lawmakers’ votes this week on overriding Kelly’s veto were the same from how lawmakers voted on the original measure that put the map on Kelly’s desk.
