A Kansas district court judge on Monday threw out the state’s newly-drawn Republican-backed congressional map as an unconstitutional gerrymander.
The 29th Judicial District Court accused Republicans of creating “intentional and effective” partisan and political gerrymanders that violated the Kansas Constitution, The New York Times reported. The newly-drawn map divided Wyandotte County and moved a portion of it out of the 3rd District, which it shares with Johnson County.
