United Kansas Party Files Lawsuits in State Court to Force Kansas to Permit Fusion

On July 10, the United Kansas Party filed two lawsuits in state court to force the state to allow two parties to jointly nominate the same candidate.  The link goes to the Complaint in one of the cases, United Kansas Party v Schwab, Saline County, 28th judicial district, sa-2024-cv-152.  The two cases are identical; each one has one particular candidate-plaintiff.  The other case, also called United Kanss Party v Schwab, is filed in Reno County, rn-2024-cv-184.

The party has nominated two candidates for the legislature who were also running in major party primaries on August 6, and who each won their major party primary:  Lori Blake is the Democratic nominee in the 69th district, and Jason Probst is the Democratic nominee in the 102nd district.  They each want to be on the ballot with both party labels, Democrat and United Kansas.

The United Kansas gained qualified status in Kansas in May 2024, and the founders of the party always had the goal of legalizing fusion.  The lawsuits depend on the State Constitution.  The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that nothing in the U.S. Constitution requires states to permit fusion.

The United Kansas Party had also nominated J.C. Moore to run for State Senate in the 26th district, but he lost his Republican primary on August 6.

  1. Since when is Klaus Schwab the Kansas SoS? 😛

    Moore can still run for senate under the United Kansas Party label though right, because Kansas doesn’t have sore loser laws?

  2. If parties are private associations, as per Eu v San Francisco, then the decision to use or not fusion is up to the parties, not the state.

  3. PUBLIC ELECTIONS OF PUBLIC OFFICERS BY PUBLIC VOTERS/ELECTORS VIA PUBLIC ELECTION LAWS.
