JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri senators are working behind the scenes to try to find a compromise on how to redraw the state’s eight U.S. House districts. The Senate met in a rare Friday session to continue debating congressional redistricting. A majority of the Republican-led chamber has indicated its support for a map that is projected to continue the state’s current representation of six Republicans and two Democrats. But a coalition of conservative Republicans has filibustered while pressing for a map that could give the GOP a shot at winning seven seats. The debate began Monday and has spanned much of the week.
