Democrats are fighting back against the rare but unheard of redistricting.

California’s heavy blue state legislators approved a special vote proposal in November to get voter approval to temporarily limit the state’s non-partisan redivision committees and return the power to map the congressional map to the Democratic-led legislature.

In Missouri, Kehoe proposed a new map that shifted longtime Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s Kansas City area area, shifting it eastward to include rural right-leaning voters.

If the Republican-controlled legislature passes, the new map could flip the meat-cutter seat and provide Republicans with a 7-1 advantage in the state’s U.S. House delegation.

But the Democrats Missouri State Building Limited options can prevent the Legislature from passing the new map. Unlike Texas, where Democratic state representatives fled the state for two weeks to delay the re-division, similar moves by Missouri Democrats would not prevent the quorum of doing business.

Most Republicans may quickly shut down any words and deeds from Missouri Senate Democrats.
