Wyandotte County (Kansas City) should be placed in the sprawling KS-01; Republicans were thinking of doing just that in 2011, but Democrats pointed out that it would be a (GASP!) gerrymander, and Republicans desisted.

Of course, the fact that Hillary narrowly carried the KS-03 does not mean that the Democrats will have an easy time carrying it; as in other affluent suburban areas, Trump badly underperformed Romney in Johnson County (Overland Park, etc.) and I expect less-populist Republicans to continue to do well there.

True, though Dennis Moore did snag the district in 1996 and held it until he retired in 2010, so it's potentially vulnerable if the wrong Republican is caught napping.
