Missouri voters will decide this fall if they’ll allow their state to become a test case for a major anti-immigrant redistricting overhaul that’s been a long desired goal of the GOP.
Ladies and Gents, I present to you, The Anti-Democratic Party.
Here we go again. We voted to regulate puppy mills, the lege over ran the will of the people. We’ve voted against Right to Work twice and they still want to over turn that. The percentage of MO voters that voted for Clean Missouri was 62%, and now they want to overturn that too.
As for this only counting citizens that’s bullshit too. They pay sales taxes, their numbers help us get the federal dollars that we need. And when their rural hospitals close they can just live with the mess that they voted for.
So if a Democrat and a Republican were to come together and shake hands, would they give off a burst of energy and a photon?
I doubt it. The Democrat would be wearing a face mask and nitrile gloves.
Good point, yet another reason to don PPE! 
Even if Missourians vote it down, the republicans will still try to make it happen somehow. I gotta hand it to them – their ideas are shit, but they sure like the taste.
I’m genuinely starting to wonder if the nation will even survive to suffer from the effects of climate change.
They do this in Texas, too. If they can’t get what they want one way they’ll come back from another direction.
It’s only a matter of time before a crooked Trump judge throws out the Clean Missouri initiative.
I want a law where all proposed legislation has to have the name of lobbyist who wrote it, or the legislator must turn in all material they used to create it. Meaning all drafts, all notes, and who and when they talked to somebody.
Seriously back in one of Jay Nixon’s 2 terms as governor they Republicans passed something, they cheered, and slapped each other on the back of what a good job they did. Well the legislation was written by ALEC and in the piece of legislation it called for raising a tax on medications. We don’t tax medicine in MO. These fuckers don’t even vet the ALEC legislation to see if it contradicts current laws.
It’s a Census year and redistricting begins next year. I’d like to take this opportunity to once again thank all those who decided not to show up and vote in 2010 and I don’t give a f**k what your reason was.
Eff these ten Democrats and Bernie Sanders who did not even vote.
Tom Carper of Delaware, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, Dianne Feinstein of California, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Doug Jones of Alabama, Tim Kaine of Virginia, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Mark Warner of Virginia and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island.
Just wondering, if you only want to include citizens in your redistricting Plans seems we should only consider citizens when we decide how many representatives you should’ve have. Wonder if they might lose a representative?
Having lived in Stone County I’m going to venture this will pass. It’s not that the dumb fucking hillbillies thereabouts are stupid, it’s just that they have an insatiable hate for anyone who “isn’t them.”
It’s boilerplate stuff.
Republicans are recruited to run for offices not because they can read or think critically.
Mostly, because they are willing to walk single file off a cliff when asked.
With lower energy than even Jeb.
Not just citizens but only voting age citizens? Children get no representation? Why stop there, how about only voting age citizens with swastika tattoos?
It’s time to set a date for a fighting war. I don’t see another way to a functioning society now.
No point in one less rabblerouser if they still have Senate apportionment.
What we really need is an amendment to change Senate apportionment from a fixed 2 to something like log2(population / 100,000) Senators.
