The Missouri Supreme Court enacted the state’s Republican-drawn gerrymander on Tuesday, allowing it to likely take effect for the midterms by handing the GOP victories on two major redistricting cases. The court ruled that the state’s new map — which Republicans in the Legislature drew to break up a Kansas City-area Democratic seat and shift the delegation from 6-2 Republican to a 7-1 advantage — did not violate the state constitution’s redistricting clause. The court also ruled against Democrats in the state who filed a petition seeking to force a referendum on the map, declaring the filing of the petition…
