On Nov. 3, Missouri voters will decide which congressional map the state uses in subsequent elections.
Prop A:
YES upholds House Bill 1, the 2025 map (first image)
NO repeals it and keeps the 2022 map (second image)
The Trump proposal to change how the decennial census is counted could cost New York one congressional alone because snowbirds would be counted at their winter addresses before the April 1 Census Day @JCRCNY @SR_spatial @RedistrictNet @censusSDC
2030 census rules changes challenge sets up the perfect storm for a disastrous count nygroove.nyc/trump-census-20… @TheNY_Groove @vksmith @SR_spatial @NYICAction @Murad_NYIC @RedistrictNet @NYElectionNews @NYLawSchool

#NEW: A three-judge panel will hold a hearing on Louisiana’s congressional map on Oct. 27.
Plaintiffs argue the remedial map relies too heavily on race and does not comply with the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais. kpel965.com/louisiana-callai…

Ohio tried to fix gerrymandering. Then came the drama, power brokers, backroom deals, and full-on reality TV show-like moments that followed.
Draw the Line in Ohio tells the story of what happened, and why Ohio’s redistricting fight matters far beyond the state. Coming September 15. simonandschuster.com/books/D…

Today's @politicony Playbook covers the open primaries fight heading to 2027. 1M+ unaffiliated New Yorkers are locked out of primaries. That bloc is young and diverse, nearly half under 40, a third Black and Hispanic. NYC remains an outlier - over 80% of cities run open elections
Open primary advocates in NYC are increasingly bullish they'll get their long-sought referendum question on the 2027 ballot.
And while they don't think open primaries will hurt Mamdani, some DSA members fear it could harm their broader political project. politico.com/newsletters/new…

Kansas Republicans may again attempt a mid-decade congressional gerrymander, but two recent appointments by Gov. Kelly to the Kansas Supreme Court make the outcome of a legal challenge unknown. boltsmag.org/kansas-supreme-…

A bagel shouldn't have to be so expensive — but rising insurance costs are making businesses and landlords raise their prices astronomically.
That’s why I’m creating the Office of Insurance Affordability, to protect consumers and crack down on insurance increases that are burdening so many New Yorkers.
