Missouri republicans are trying to call for a special session so they can redraw our congressional maps in order to gerrymander themselves another seat in Congress. 🧵(1/5) #Democrats #Republicans #GOP #Gerrymandering #Cheaters
Redistricting is done every 10 years after a census. Redistricting for the 2020 census has already been completed. This is an outright attempt to cheat and gain unearned power in our government. 🧵 (2/5) #congress #USHouseofRepresentatives
They want a 7-1 map meaning Republicans will hold 7 of our 8 seats in congress. In 2024 38.5% of Missourians voted democrat. Why on earth would republicans deserve 87.5% of our congressional seats when they only received 58.5% of the vote? 🧵 (3/5) Image
Call your State Rep, State Senator and the Governor’s office today, and every day, and tell them you are opposed to any redistricting efforts until after the 2030 census.

Find your State House Rep contact info: ... 🧵(4/5)house.mo.gov/FrontPageMob
Find your State Senator contact info: senate.mo.gov/legislookup/...

Contact the Governor’s Office: governor.mo.gov/contact-us

🧵The Missouri GOP is afraid of citizens having a voice. The initiative petition process is the last means for us to make change when our legislature has failed to listen to the people and now they want to make the process more difficult.
This will be a constitutional amendment Missourians will vote on. Unless the House changes it the language that will appear on the ballot will begin with a statement about only allowing US citizens a vote.

IT IS ALREADY ILEGAL FOR NON-CITIZENS TO VOTE IN MISSOURI ELECTIONS. 🧵
The GOP has hand picked this language in hopes you will stop reading & vote in support of the amendment. Do not be fooled by these underhanded tricks. Do not let them underestimate your intelligence. Call your state rep and tell them you want no changes made to the IP process.🧵
