US–ELECTION 2026-REDISTRICTING-MISSOURI

DESCRIPTION: The rush to redraw America’s congressional maps put a historically Black neighborhood in downtown Kansas City and a small town 100 miles to the east in the same congressional district. The 18th and Vine area in Kansas City is known for a museum telling the story of segregated professional baseball. Boonville is a mostly white farming community that has sought federal help rebuilding an old railroad bridge to improve a popular long-distance biking trail. Republican lawmakers redrew districts this summer to meet President Donald Trump’s call for states to help the GOP ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The result has real impact where people live.
