This is a shocking and appalling development. Missouri was one of the first red states to answer Trump’s mandate to rig the 2026 election by doing mid-decade gerrymandering, something so brazen that it has never been done before.
Missouri Republicans targeted one of only two majority-Black districts in the state: Kansas City’s fifth district represented by Emanuel Cleaver, a former pastor and the city’s first Black mayor.
Almost overnight, MAGA lawmakers turned Cleaver’s D +12 district into a deep red Trump +15 district using preapproved maps drawn up by Project 2025 operatives in Washington, D.C.
Red state MAGA leaders will say or do anything to win this war. They are bending every rule, breaking laws, and setting fire to the traditional establishment rules of engagement that Democrats are still unfortunately respecting.
But we’re not. Colorado Draws The Line is leading the ballot campaign to allow Colorado voters to approve emergency redistricting. Colorado is now a solid blue state that has voted against Trump by double digits since 2016. We can flip 3 GOP-held seats if we move quickly enough.
We’re fed up with Trump’s strongman tactics and are fighting back to stop MAGA from stealing our democracy and shutting Dems out of power for generations to come. But we are facing difficult odds that require us to raise and spend millions in a compressed timeframe to get this on the ballot. Can you chip in $25 or more to help us counter MAGA’s red state gerrymandering in blue Colorado?
