Insider Wire @insiderwire.com · Sep 11 MISSOURI: Missouri Republicans have passed a new congressional map, locking in a 7–1 GOP advantage. It’s blatant gerrymandering that weakens the voices of urban and minority voters, silencing opposition to cement power. GOP leaders defend it as “reflecting the state.”

Well, at least they didnt slice up the counties as well. I believe they went by population centers counts and then the rural counties. Just compared the latest map to the new one. There's change but certainly not like NJ!
That one Democratic district is guess where? The city of St. Louis. That's it. Not even St. Louis County, clearly watered down despite the % of Harris votes last November.
Missouri Republicans shove 🪕where the sun don't shine.
Is New York going to do something about their state, or are Democrats just going to keep playing nice?
It does NOT reflect the over 40% of Missourians who vote for Democratic or Independent candidates. It is indeed a sad day for legitimate, hard working, fair minded Missourians to be forced by outside DC order/pressure into silencing of their votes.
A good article the bullshit is the other part of this bill. missouriindependent.com/2025/09/09/m...
It would be hilarious if a lot of democrats moved a few miles to steal couple of those back.
I smell lawsuits. Let's see if the SCOTUS is still on a Trump fever dream.
Its an open recognition they are losers. People don't support them and the Republicans are screaming - "We Don't Care"!
Shithole state.
So according to GOP logic re: CA, Missouri must vote 87.5% GOP to justify this. Seems like a lot
Well if voting is truly meant to "reflect the state/country," then we need to restructure the system so that representatives are based on equal representation (eg: CA has # senators to reflect their true population) and eliminate the electoral college to elect presidents based on the popular vote.
Another act to make voting worthless. They might as well just throw out the ballots from any area they don't like. Oh, wait . . .
The only state that reflects is utter delusion.
Did they also make the referendum impossible by make every county have to pass or no referendum?
