Will a 6 – 2 congressional map stand?

(AP) — With time running short, the Missouri House on Monday passed a newly proposed map for the state’s eight congressional districts that — if the Senate agrees — could be used in elections later this year.

The plan approved 101-47 by the state House is projected to continue Republicans’ 6-2 advantage over Democrats in the state’s U.S. House delegation. It marked an attempt to avoid court intervention and break a stalemate with the state Senate before a Friday deadline to pass legislation.
