QUESTION OF THE DAY: Are you happy with the ‘Missouri First’ map approved by the General Assembly?

The Republican-dominated Missouri General Assembly achieved exactly what they'd hoped to in last week's special session.

The supermajority passed both a new congressional map and initiative petition reform despite Democratic opposition in each chamber. Senate Republicans even cut off debate early, using their majority to prevent any long filibustering of special session legislation.

The new map, which will certainly be signed by the governor, who has said repeatedly that he backs it, will have only one safe Democratic seat. The current map has two.

Do you like the new map? Let us know by voting in the poll.
