Missouri Lawmakers Hope to Resolve New Map This Week
The outcome of this regardless of the map picked is that Missouri, and the Democrats will lose a seat to reapportionment.
Missouri lawmakers will attempt to break through their redistricting stalemate Tuesday morning, when they are scheduled to reconvene and consider, once again, the state’s new Congressional map.
Republicans who control the Legislature have spent the past several weeks wrangling over new Congressional borders, which are dramatically changing since the state lost a seat because of reapportionment. As of this week, state Republicans still could not agree on the new boundaries around two exurban St. Louis counties: St. Charles and Jefferson.
