JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Multiple lawsuits have been filed against Missouri because lawmakers have failed to redraw the lines for a new congressional map.
It’s been more than a month since either the House or the Senate has debated a map. Wednesday, a new version was proposed to try to get past the gridlock and get the constitutional duty done before the courts take over.
“Frankly I don’t like this as much as what we passed before but you know, we got to give a little to get a little I guess,” Rep. Shamed Dogan (R-Ballwin) said during the committee hearing.
