Now, the governor has to choose between telling the president his as is map might be wrong or signing a flawed map into law and hoping a judge doesnt care. Any Republican who was told to blindly follow their leaders and not ask questions should be feeling pretty ticked off right about now.
It's a flawed map, no one double checked and now we have hundreds who can vote in both the Fourth and Fifth. MO GOP is afraid to fo anything about it for fear of angering Trump.

That could give conservatives judges an opening to strike the map down. If they want to, that is.

In play. Interesting is how the overlapped district puts Democratic voters in both the Fourth and Fifth. The Fourth is a red district but now? Who knows? Even the mayor of Kansas City is in a new district.

Surely the consequence of a series of unfortunate coincidences.
At least, until we find the emails where those coincidences were carefully worked out in advance.
