The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled that the state's redrawn congressional maps are constitutional.
What does this mean for additional potential GOP house seats?
Well, the redistricting was done “to make the house seat more competitive for Republicans” according to the video.
1 Seat. Possibly...In KC. Cleaver.
Do you know the makeup currently of the MO house seats?
I do not.
They probably should consider themselves lucky it didn’t get overturned. District 5 used to be a solid urban seat, but they took the urban area and spread it all out with a lot of mid-state geography in hopes of watering it down. The problem is that it looks the most gerymandered out of all of them now. IE: the least contiguous with it’s overall area of mass, and the most stretched and turning.
New map is overall more evenly spaced out than old map. Old district #3 has more wandering borderline than new district #5 to me.
