The Missouri state legislature passed a new congressional map Friday, sending to GOP Gov. Mike Kehoe a new set of districts that would target one of the state’s two Democrat members of Congress.
The 21-11 state Senate vote is the latest in a rising partisan gerrymandering war nationwide, with the new map splitting the Kansas City-area seat currently held by Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II.
Two Republicans broke with their party and opposed the Missouri bill.
