Episode Details

Missouri’s Supreme Court is set to decide whether voters can directly choose congressional maps — a power the Secretary of State says is off-limits — as a controversial redistricting plan redraws District Five into more rural, Republican territory. Advocates for “People not Politicians” argue public votes should decide district lines, especially since this map was drawn mid-decade, and they’ve gathered enough signatures to put it on the ballot. But with the court’s ruling expected before September 8th — the deadline for ballot inclusion — and both sides agreeing to accept the outcome without going federal, this case could reshape Missouri’s political future and redefine who gets heard in Washington.
