Episode Details

Missouri voters will decide on new Congressional maps this November after the Supreme Court blocked mid-decade redistricting — a move that halts GOP efforts to reshape districts, including targeting Democrat Emanuel Cleaver’s 5th District. While Cleaver sees it as a victory for democracy, his opponent Rick Brattin calls it a constitutional crisis and vows to sue, claiming the old map disenfranchises voters. Attorney General Catherine Hanaway is now pushing the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene before the September 8 ballot deadline. Other candidates weigh in: Jordan Herrera frames it as a win against racism, while Republican Mark Alford says he’ll focus on winning regardless of the map.
