Kind of weird how Roberts declared the VRA preclearance to rest on dated and unfair assumptions about the South and within 15 years the former Confederate states will have effectively eliminated almost every black district within those states.
Missouri Republicans today passed a new gerrymander that would break apart the Democratic district in Kansas City, which would flip a seat to the GOP. (The governor is expected to sign it.) www.kansascity.com/news/politic...
Missouri senators pass gerrymandered map that slashes through Kansas City
The vote marked a pivotal moment in Missouri, potentially altering the political makeup of Kansas City for years.

This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.)

Amateur hour 😅
Sen. Tony Sorrentino of Elkhorn was not in the chamber during the vote. He was apparently giving some people a tour and didn’t realize debate had ended and a vote was underway. Sorrentino even peaked in the chamber, but no one told him to come sit down.
Maybe an all-time #neleg blunder (for now)
