BREAKING: Missouri newest state to follow Trump's plan to cheat voters out of their voting power, will redistrict to favor republicans

The mid-decade redistricting push comes as Trump’s political team has pressured Republican-led states to redraw their U.S. House maps so Republicans can maintain a majority in Congress. Republican-led Texas passed a Trump-backed map last week, sparking a retaliatory response in Democratic California. The plan in Missouri and other states would be an overt use of partisan gerrymandering, a term used to describe the practice of redrawing electoral district boundaries to favor one party over another. Kehoe’s announcement included a copy of a proposed congressional map, which he called “the Missouri First Map.” The map appears to carve up the Democratic-leaning 5th District, which includes Kansas City’s urban core and nearby suburbs. That could effectively force out of office U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, Kansas City’s longtime Democratic congressman. Republicans currently control six of Missouri’s congressional districts while Democrats hold the 5th District in Kansas City and the 1st District in St. Louis, under maps lawmakers passed in 2022. Congressional districts are typically only redrawn once every decade based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

democracy is over

It really comes down to capturing the scotus in 2016 which then lead to chipping away at the voting rights act.

Funny part is that this is a losing game for republicans. Democratic votes have more volume and more districts based on populations. Which means the more polarization happens it’s a L unless they change how congress are elected/represented (currently still by population).

Do you watch the news? California just did the same thing and other democratic states are considering the same thing

Can you file a lawsuit before they actually violate the voting rights act?

 

[IAMDetroit]

I wasn't in favor of expanding the supreme Court but do it. Lock these duckers out of power forever. They have shown they can't rule or be trusted to follow the rules.

How many successful injunctions have you seen that went through before a law was even enacted? Can you be injured before a law is even voted on?

This is not going to end well for anybody .

I feel like this won’t turn out the way they think.

Didn’t Missouri vote in favor of Dem policy recently? And the GOP just ignored it or overturned it?
