Redistricting

[edit]

The2010 United States census reflected a shift of population "primarily from rural western and northern Kansas to urban and suburban areas in the eastern part of the state."[2]

In spite ofRepublicanpolitical control of thegovernor's office, thestate senate, thestate house, and the entireU.S. Congressional delegation,redistricting had to be decided by a federal court.[3] To decide the case, a three-judge panel was appointed byMary Beck Briscoe, the chief judge of theCourt of Appeals for the 10th Circuit: Briscoe appointed herself, along with two judges from theDistrict Court for Kansas: Chief District JudgeKathryn Hoefer Vratil, and District JudgeJohn Watson Lungstrum.[2]

According to the Court:[2]

While legislators publicly demurred that they had done the best they could, the impasseresulted from a bitter ideological feud—largely over newSenate districts. The feud primarily pitted GOP moderates against their more conservative GOP colleagues. Failing consensus, the process degenerated into blatant efforts togerrymander various districts for ideological political advantage and to serve the political ambitions of various legislators.

Once redistricting was finalized in federal court,primary elections were held on August 7, 2012.[4]

District 1
