TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas lawmakers have given final approval to a redistricting measure that’s likely to preserve Republican supermajorities in the Legislature while possibly moving the state school board to the right. The votes Wednesday night were 29-11 in the Senate and 83-40 in the House on a single bill containing plans for lawmakers and the State Board of Education. The measure goes next to Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly, and she said earlier this week that she thinks lawmakers did a good job on legislative redistricting. Republicans currently have majorities of 29-11 in the Senate, 86-39 in the House and 6-4 on the state board.
