TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court won’t review a congressional redistricting law enacted by the Republican-controlled Kansas Legislature that critics saw as political gerrymandering. The nation’s highest court said Monday without explanation that it won’t hear an appeal of a Kansas Supreme Court ruling from May 2022. The appeal centered on the Kansas court’s rejection of claims from 11 voters that the new congressional map represented racial gerrymandering. The Kansas court also ruled that partisan gerrymandering does not violate the state constitution. The GOP map had appeared to hurt Democratic U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids’ chances for reelection in her Kansas City-area district, but she won in November.
