Supreme Court declines to look into the racist gerrymandering difference in Kansas.
A request from Kansas voters to speak their dispute over a state court ruling that permitted the use of racial gerrymandered legislative maps was denied by the Supreme Court on Monday.
After being rejected in a lower court for political warping and weakening majority voting power, the Supreme Court of Kansas upheld the GOP-drawn image next year. For the first time in years, the image divided the ethnically diverse Wyandotte County in Kansas City into two congressional districts.

The revised image will continue as a result of the huge court’s decision not to pursue the case. Less than four judges agreed to take up the complaint, despite the fact that the vote count for the decision was not made public.
Kansas requested that the judges refrain from taking up the case, referring to it as a” tool of state law” and asserting that it lacked the high court’s authority. The position added that the image was legitimate and did not involve deliberate discrimination.
According to the state, the petitioners’ reasoning is predicated on the idea that this situation involves deliberate minority vote dilution. However, it is improbable that the Kansas Legislature passed SB 355 with racial unfair intent. So, regardless of the response to the question given, petitioners’ claims may be rejected.
The group of voters, supported by the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Kansas, and the Campaign Legal Center, claimed in court papers that the maps violated the 14th Amendment, which prohibits” designed racial bias in redistricting where the minority voters discriminated against are not sufficiently numerous to form a lot of qualified voters in one-member city.”
Even if the legislature declared that it acted solely to risk minority voters, groups wrote in their previous petition that states have carte blanche to deliberately distinguish against them in drawing districts under this conception of the Fourteenth Amendment, where minor voters are fewer in number or more dispersed.
Steven Donziger, a dismissed economic attorney, appealed his conviction for criminal contempt, but the Supreme Court declined to hear his case. He claimed that because the Justice Department refused to handle the case against him, personal lawyers chosen by a federal judge did so, violating his rights.
