On addressing our liberties: no vaccine passports or mandates, getting rid of electronic voter machines that are proven to be easily hacked, and choosing the 7:1 districts as it should be.

Lisha Lammers

5-3 is fair representatiion of Missouri voters. 5 Democrat! #turnMOblue

Lisa Gore

Absolutely not. That is not how the census came out. Sorry steering the state leads to illegal voting too.

Adam

Unfortunately that will never happen 😕

Blue states are called Blue states, because they are sad states.

I am much more pleased with Missouri's legislature, than the abject failure, of the National legislature.

A group of Republicans in the Missouri Senate wants to vote on a map that would create seven Republican-friendly districts compared to one for Democrats.

Caleb Rowden is a Rino. I regret voting for him. The 7:1 matches the census but if you’re getting some push back from whoever paid for your election bid, maybe you should look at who they are and their motives before you run. MO got over $6,800,000 in CTCL $, it is influencing a lot of big counties.

Max

I have the same respect for Caleb Rowden, as I do for Cori Bush. That should explain itself.

I'm going to have to disagree here, in a 7-1 map either St. Louis or Kansas city loses a democratic seat. A person or representative in rural Missouri is not going to understand or even care about those in the urban, same could be said if you expanded the democrat seats into rural areas

William Stewart

Following very closely since according to Parson, we Missourians are too stupid to vote to have an independent redistricting. The representatives are biased and should not be writing their own district's end of the story.

Mainly, because the news has me burned out, with all of the whining, and virtue signaling.

Wanda Gebhardt

The politicians are going to do whatever they want regardless of what the public wants so why bother to watch it?

It's interesting to see all the people complaining about federal election takeover when these bills include things such as: requirement for independent redistricting so no more gerrymandering, prohibition on campaign spending by foreign nationals, improved election security, and better outlined...

penalties for those who try to subvert peoples right and ability to vote whether or not a minority. Though the calls of this being federal election takeover is not much different than the same thing being said back when passage of the original VRA was going through the senate. It also does not...

change the DOJ's current role when it comes to elections due to preclearance. But hey its like we are in the 1960s again and the right to vote and ones ability to is for some reason dangerous because there is power in minority numbers.

Lisha Lammers

Equal voting rights for all Americans!

Max

I agree. Voter ID, and no mail in ballots.

To my knowledge (even though many vote-fraud accusations haven't been verified), there are far more verified cases of vote fraud than verified cases of legally entitled voters denied their right to vote. I have no doubt that such cases would be broadly publicized if they existed.

To an extent there are cases that are showcase creation of difficulty in voting such as closing of polling centers in minority areas, creating very nuanced things that make it harder to vote by mail or absentee without telling the public and other things that are minor but not at the same time

Will Mason

Quit calling it "voting rights" it is a democrat fraud easing scheme. It makes cheating easier. Something democrats tend to cheer.

David Kertz

we do not need federal election laws, especially this one proposed. we need total voter id laws and minimal abstentee balllots that are verified well in advance of elections

Fredrick Green

Voting is left up to our states. Don't allow the federal government to change laws and take control. Why? Have you seen what happens when the government is left in control of something? Everything tends to mess up. Examples include public education, mail services, etc.

Lisa Gore

States are in charge of our voting rights, this allows us to regulate and make sure there is election integrity. These Federal rules take that accountability away. CoMo got $647,000 CTCL money, we wouldn’t know how much 2020 fraud went on in Boone county if it weren’t state-county local. Vote no!!

Max

The Constitution gives the states the right to control the voting process. The democrats do not believe in the constitution. The United States, under its Constitution, is a federal, representative, democratic republic, an indivisible union of 50 sovereign States. Biden is trying to subvert the Law.

Max

To JH, Yes your statement is true, but it requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Good luck with that. What Biden is doing is called senseless Grandstanding.

Mr. DeYoung You are right to an extent but also wrong, Article 1 section 4 states, The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations

Max

To make that easier to understand, the Biden administration, is crooked to the bone, and communist in nature.
