Rep. Emanuel Cleaver promises lawsuit if Missouri Republicans gerrymander his district
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver plans to sue over a redistricting plan that would split Kansas City into three districts, aiming to secure nearly 90% of Missouri's U.S. House seats for Republicans.
- Republicans in Missouri are attempting a mid-decade redistricting that could eliminate one Democratic-held House district to gain an additional seat.
- Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver stated that the gerrymandering plan would 'silence voices' and undermine democracy, arguing it is an unconstitutional act by the GOP.
- The Missouri GOP legislature's plan targets Cleaver's district by stretching it into rural areas far from its urban base, changing its political lean from Democratic to leaning toward Trump.
- Governor Mike Kehoe's proposal would also make it harder for citizens to pass initiatives, requiring support from each congressional district, which are being redrawn through this gerrymandering effort.
