JUST IN: Missouri House Committee ADVANCES New Congressional Map

[Conservative Angle]

​

Following in Texas’s footsteps, Missouri just took the first step towards passing a new Congressional map.

The new map would likely give Republicans another House seat, locking in a 7-1 majority in the Missouri House.

Specifically, it would redraw the Congressional map to wipe out Kansas City’s 5th District, which has been held by Democrats for a long time.

Take a look:

The map advanced in the House Special Committee by a vote of 10-4, along party lines.

Next, it’s headed to for a full House vote, which will happen within the next few weeks.

KMBC reported:

The Missouri House Special Committee on Redistricting advanced a proposed congressional map by a 10-4 vote on Thursday.

Dozens of people turned out for the first public hearing on a plan that would split up a Kansas City congressional district to give Republicans a shot at winning seven of Missouri’s eight U.S. House seats.

Republicans already hold six of those seats.

Of course, the map is set to face strong opposition from Democrats in the House and Senate.

But, if it can clear those hurdles, then it’s possible the new Congressional map could be signed by Missouri’s Gov. Kehoe by the end of the month.

More from The New York Times:

Missouri Democrats have decried the proposed new map, saying it would water down the political power of Black voters and other groups.

“Democracy in Missouri is taking a devastating blow, one it may not recover from,” State Representative Mark Sharp, the top Democrat on the redistricting committee, said during Thursday’s hearing in the Missouri House.

State Representative Dirk Deaton, a Republican who is leading the redistricting push, said the map under consideration was drawn up by the governor’s office. He called it an improvement over the current one, arguing that it would “split fewer counties and municipalities.”

Representative Richard West, a Republican who chairs the committee, pushed back on suggestions that the new map would disenfranchise a significant number of voters. The revised district boundaries, he argued, could actually make a handful of existing Republican-held seats “more competitive.”

If the House passes the proposal, as is widely expected, the Missouri Senate would take it up. A new map could be ready for Governor Kehoe to sign into law in the next few weeks.
