Comments

Nina: this kind of thing always happens when politicians think they can outsmart the voters. What's the actual holdup? Can't these people agree on a map for once?
Freya: i'm surprised no one's talking about the voting rights implications in all this chaos - which map gets enacted could make a real difference for some constituents
Ravi: seems like the whole state is turned upside down over this
Irisv: crowd's energy doesn't usually translate to meaningful change at the polls though
Ava: it sounds like the court's on shaky ground with its own precedent here
Diazlucas: I'm surprised thehill.com is being so detailed about this - isn't everyone just waiting for SCOTUS to weigh in now?
Freya: can someone explain to me why we can't just have one straightforward ruling on this thing?
Leo: This is exactly what I've been worried about - when court decisions become this fluid and we're just days away from the midterms. It's not just Missouri's voters who are
Kian: seems like both sides are getting creative with their maps - wonder which one holds up in the end though
Elin: i've been following this and it's wild how different the court's rulings are - what happens to voters who have already registered under one map?
