2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Missouri

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Here is the next in the series of Pubmander "lites" in states where the GOP has control of the lines, that uses some tricks to shore up a bit MO-07, while keeping the map beautiful and the chops at a minimum and aesthetic. Snatching KC from the Dems is a no go, unless, to avoid a potential dummymander, the Pubs are willing to tri-chop the black neighborhoods of KC. While  that is probably legal since the hood is not currently VRA protected (as I understand its current incarnation), I strongly doubt that is a bridge that  even Pub crazies in the state such as, e.g., Senator Hawley, would want/dare to cross.

KC can be cut 3 ways pretty easily, and it wouldn't look too ugly.  All 3 would be at least Trump+20-25

"Trump + 20-25" is in the "Steve King clone can lose in a Dem wave year" territory. I imagine that some incumbents might be unhappy.

I dont know who are dumber, the Republicans thinking a Trump +35 seat is at risk or Democrats refusing to support the mildest gerrymander ever because muh fairness means 3 biden seats is required.

A nonpartisan map based on 2020 census and election data likely has 2 Biden seats by the way, then a Trump + 1 seat as the 3rd most Democratic.
