BREAKING: The 8th Circuit US Court of Appeals has RE-INSTATED Missouri's new Congressional map, which FLIPS a Democrat seat to Republican — 7R-1D

The court calls Missouri judges' attempts to use the old maps UNCONSTITUTIONAL

JD Vance DIRECTLY called for this just days ago while in Missouri: "When you have courts that say that Missouri is not allowed to draw its districts the way that it would like to, but certain blue states are, what that means is that those courts are saying that the votes of a Missouri Republican or a Missouri Independent count less than a Massachusetts Democrat."

"You could have people who are going in the general election and casting ballots in districts that are different than the ballots that they cast just a couple of months ago in the primary. That, to me, is an affront to the democratic process."

This will likely be appealed again up to the US Supreme Court, but time is running VERY short, so in all likelihood, the new maps are GOOD TO GO.

The new map was used for the primaries, insane they wanted to switch it back for the general.

But yeah. This is a win for us here in MO.

Activist judges .
We reds we all for the new map change. But Dems could/should lose a seat (another thing we reds support) and now it's a big fight

With the primaries already completed, how exactly was using the old map going to work?

The original ruling was max level retardation.

It is a problem of the MO Republicans, and specifically the SoS, own creation.

Surprised this thread isn’t getting more traction. It’s very important.

Discussing the GTOE

Why would you ask for me in this thread? Have I even commented on the MO map issue?

You're surprised at what a politically motivated judge would do? Unfortunately this will get worse and I'm not sure it will ever get better again.

They got what they wanted because they were right and they fought for it.

How is that a problem?

Missouri has a law that says a petition can force a referendum on any passed assembly bills.

Those signatures were submitted to the SoS last year, he then sat on the issue until the day of the primary until, where his reason to deny the petition was on legal grounds and not of sufficiency of signatures grounds.
