That is really good. Are the districts in MO different and how?
KS21 did MO for me. He's the expert in that region!
The 5 rural districts would still be Safe or Likely Republican. Ike Skelton is probably too old to make a comeback anyway.
The Kansas City district is Safe D. On the other side of the state, Lacy Clay would still be safe and Russ Carnahan would be about the same. Todd Aiken would now have a swing district.
Did Akin's district boundaries change because I would say that's not a real swing district currrently.
Yes, the boundaries changed on Akin's district. This was planned. With a split redistricting process, it would seem likely that a 5-3-1 R compromise would be good.
Clay's district was moved north taking parts of Akin's district, had the southern 1/3 taken out and was given to what remained of Akin's. This plan more evenly splits up the Red suburbs, Blue suburbs, and Urban STL.
Cleaver's district had the GOP suburbs taken out and replaced with Caly County, which is a swing county by Missouri standards.
I see. Again, a fantastic map!
