In Missouri, Todd Akin's district (MO-02) would be the easiest to lose and reapportion. It's a suburban district so all they would have to do is shift some of the western St. Louis suburbs (Kirkwood, Chesterfield, Town & Country) to the neighboring MO-01 (most of St. Louis City and some of the northern burbs) and some of the more northern, exurban communities like St. Charles and St. Peters to MO-09. St. Charles County is a GOP stronghold (most affluent county in the state). If there's any left over, they could push them down into Carnahan's district in MO-03, which consists of most of the southern St. Louis suburbs as well as South St. Louis City.
It'll be interesting to see how many more counties my congressional district (MO-08) gains (we have 28 so far). Not that it matters, because Jo Ann Emerson has this seat until she retires or dies.
