BREAKING: The Missouri Supreme Court has just REINSTATED the OLD US Congressional map, giving Democrats a seat back in the state, DESPITE the new map being passed into law a YEAR AGO
This process was INTENTIONALLY slow walked to RUN THE CLOCK OUT.
Absolutely unreal.
We’re now back to 6R-2D rather than 7R-1D

How much to buy a judge on the Supreme Court of Missouri? Is there a going rate?
One step forward (yay)
then two steps back (boo).
Meanwhile crooked California gets extra House seats and Electoral College votes for millions of totally illegal aliens and for false vote counts. CHEATERS.
I don’t get it
They already had primaries
Ignore the judicial jackasses
The Missouri Supreme Court has five Republicans and two Democrats
cynical cheating can lead to war.
Express it to the USSC. Primaries are over, how can you have new primaries in 2 months, plus all of the printing?
“Missouri Supreme Court rules new GOP-drawn map can’t be used for November elections”
So how do you have a primary election using one map and then the general election using another?
Egads!
“Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway vowed in a statement following the ruling to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Never before in American history has a court overturned a congressional map after a primary and before a general election. This unprecedented decision clearly violates federal law and has thrust our state into a full‑fledged constitutional crisis,” Hanaway wrote. “We are confident that the federal courts will not allow every Missouri voter to be disenfranchised—which is what today’s decision does.””
Surrre!

I wonder how many seats Texas would have then?

“Heads we win, tails you lose”.
Been that way my entire life. I’m getting ornery in my old age, I just stick around to watch these SOBs get what for. It shouldn’t be too much longer, seriously. History is clear.

How long will that take?
Also, if this violates federal law ... where are the feds charging these MS SC clowns???
There is that constitutional thing where the elections are up to the legislatures. And the courts have no say in it. But as long as we are using the courts then it time for The USSC to explain how it is too late to change the districts for this election.
“Also, if this violates federal law ... where are the feds charging these MS SC clowns???”
And what happened to not changing districts or election law so close to an election?
St. Louis and Kansas City are always the last to turn in their election results so they know how many ballots to inject.
Elections are about a community of voters choosing their own representative. The ruling from the state Supreme Court is forcing someone else's representative choice onto another district's voters.
The voters who lost their primary choice have lost their consent to be governed by imposing someone else's choice onto them.
