2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Missouri

[Brittain33]

Is there any state that has as many dynasties as Missouri? Blunt, Carnahan, Ashcroft… although maybe it’s just those three.

Wait so why isn't the legislature just passing the 7-1 map? What's there to lose?

Because most of the legislature does not want to cave in to angry idiot far-right caucus members for a sh**tty unfair map.

Lol so the Republicans won't gerrymander out of concerns over fairness even though Democrats are doing it in Illinois and New York? Lmao they're giving away seats for nothing.

Republicans aren’t worried about the unfairness, they’re worried about the sh**ttiness.

How is it a bad map for them if it guarantees them 7 congressional seats?

It probably messes up the primary risk and what counties people want to or don’t want to represent. And some of them may not want a less Republican seat even if it’s unlikely to flip.

Don’t forget, prayer warriors gathered to ask God to deliver them a 7-1 map. God works in mysterious ways and his will may yet be done.
