Republicans Hit Roadblock in Missouri Redistricting

Punchbowl News: “Missouri GOP Gov. Mike Kehoe signed his state’s new congressional map into law last month, but it is far from a done deal.”

“Some Republicans are growing concerned that Democrats may be on the verge of success in their Hail Mary attempt to block the new map from going into effect for the midterms.”

“If Democrats can get roughly 110,000 valid signatures by mid-December, they can trigger a referendum on the new map next year. That likely would save Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) for at least two more years and longer if voters reject the proposal. The new GOP-drawn map turns Cleaver’s Kansas City-based seat deep red.”
