It Turns Out the Kansas Presidential Primary Bill was Only Mostly Dead

State House Returned on Tuesday to Reconsider Legislation

A day after it rejected the bill to resurrect for one cycle a state-run presidential primary, the Kansas state House reconvened to entertain a motion to reconsider. In the end, the bill was not dead, but, in the words of the sitting speaker closing discussion on the Senate substitute to HB 2053 on Monday, April 3, it was “hereby declared lost.”

The House found the measure again on Tuesday, April 4.
