Listen "(LISTEN): State Rep. David Tyson Smith (D-Columbia) slams special session talk on "Wake Up Missouri""
Episode Synopsis
While Missouri’s GOP governor has not made a decision yet on whether he’ll call a special session for congressional redistricting, he says Illinois Democrats have gerrymandered their map. Governor Mike Kehoe spoke to reporters, including 939 the Eagle, in Columbia last week. Governor Kehoe says the U.S. House should stay in GOP control. State Rep. David Tyson Smith (D-Columbia) says a special session on congressional redistricting would be unconstitutional. Rep. Tyson Smith joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri". He tells listeners that redistricting in mid-decade is designed for President Donald Trump's Republican Party to keep control of the U.S. House. He calls it egregious. While Rep. Tyson Smith admits Democratic states have gerrymandered districts, he says they haven't done it mid-cycle:
