JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri House has endorsed a new congressional redistricting plan that could be put in place for this year’s elections. The proposal embraced Monday would also need to win support from the state Senate before Friday’s deadline to pass legislation. The proposed voting districts are expected to continue Republicans’ current 6-2 advantage over Democrats in the state’s U.S. House delegation. Missouri is one of the last states still struggling to enact a congressional redistricting plan based on the 2020 census.
