Where states stand in the battle for partisan advantage in US House redistricting maps
Missouri's GOP supermajority aims to redraw U.S. House districts to increase Republican seats from six to seven, amid Democratic opposition and planned public rallies.
- Missouri legislators convened a special session on Wednesday, initiated by Governor Mike Kehoe, to redraw the state's U.S. House districts ahead of the 2026 election.
- The session responds to a judge's August 25 ruling that the current map is unlawful for circumventing an independent commission, with a September 24 deadline to adopt a new map.
- The proposed map would shift Missouri’s U.S. House delegation from six Republicans and two Democrats to seven Republicans and one Democrat, splitting Kansas City's district held by Democrat Emanuel Cleaver.
- Rep. Lilly Fuchs expressed concern that the new map would diminish the political influence of Black and Brown communities, while Rep. Richard West argued that the changes result in a more cohesive and continuous district layout for Missouri.
- This effort reflects a broader GOP trend to maintain House control in 2026, with other states like Texas, Ohio, and Louisiana also engaged in redistricting battles ahead of key elections.
