A new congressional map was abruptly passed by Republicans in mid-September – but voters have a chance to rebuke politicians and stop it from going into effect

    Sorry, according to SCOTUS it’s too close to an election to change maps unless the change adds Republican seats and disenfranchises minorities.

    I live in Kansas City. This city has always had a physical racial divide, and now we’re getting split into a full 3 districts. It’s bullshit.

      I live just outside KC Mo. But still within the skyline. 5 to 10 minutes north via 29. I was under the impression we’d been pizza-ed a long time ago. Granted this new carving is especially egregious. IIRC practically creating a district that spanned from KC to STL to take away our representation.

      Both cities having close to half the states population but almost no representation at the state level.
