Press briefing on United Kansas Inc. v. Schwab, a legal challenge to Kansas’s ban on fusion voting, ahead of February 24 oral arguments before the Kansas Court of Appeals. Also open to the general public.
The case challenges Kansas’s prohibition on fusion voting—a system that allows multiple political parties to nominate the same candidate. A favorable ruling could strengthen voters’ freedom of speech and association and modestly but meaningfully reshape how elections are conducted in Kansas.
Experts will preview the legal arguments, explain the constitutional stakes, and discuss what the case could mean for Kansas voters and election law nationwide.
