Republicans want voters to elect Kansas Supreme Court justices and move court to the right

Kansas voters will decide whether to elect Supreme Court justices instead of having them appointed by the governor. Republicans support the change to shift the court rightward, citing issues like abortion and school funding, while Democrats and the current governor oppose it, warning of increased partisanship. A recent court ruling reinstating a mail ballot grace period and blocking a ban on gender-affirming care for minors has intensified the debate.
