2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Kansas

Chances this passes?

What about the Kansas Supreme Court? It has a majority of Dem appointed judges however I don’t think that matters as much as it does in other states

I had read that the KSGOP would try to override today, but haven't heard anything. Maryland was pretty quick; why the holdup?

MD Democrats have an overwhelming legislative supermajority and were more or less united around the plan. With KS, there are a few defectors/holdeouts, which is just enough to fall short of the required supermajority, since the KSGOP's supermajorities are very narrow.

Umm they’re almost the same - and actually Kansas Republicans have bigger numbers

Maryland

State House of Reps • 99 DEM - 42 GOP • (70% Dem)

State Senate • 32 DEM - 15 GOP • (68% Dem)

Kansas

State Senate • 29 GOP - 11 DEM • (73% GOP)
