Senators listened to hours of testimony, mostly from Republicans rallying for a 7-1 Republican majority redistricting map, rather than the proposed 6-2.
A map redrawing Missouri’s congressional districts passed another hurdle as a Senate committee voted Tuesday to send two versions to the Senate floor for consideration.
By a vote of 9-5 on each, the redistricting committee advanced the House bill passed last week, and a nearly identical Senate bill that also contains an emergency clause. That clause is needed for the maps to go into effect before the Aug. 2 primary. A previous attempt on the House side to add an emergency clause failed.
The maps themselves would likely keep Missouri’s current congressional makeup, sending six Republicans and two Democrats to Washington.
However, the committee debated and heard testimony on the bill for nearly three hours, with sharp exchanges between senators.

The loss in 2020 encouraged more legal actions, which are legal until overturned. Unlike the clearly illegal fraud attempted in 2020. By stalling until mid-terms they can make things "go away". The truth goes along with it and we'll never know the depth and breadth of it. No witnesses in Impeachments due to being Majority Party. If they worked nearly as hard at improvement than blocking we could be in better shape. It's docu-drama reality TV at present state. Lock a few up once they prove guilt, but we can only wish. No Party preference with prosecution. There lies the nub.
