I guarantee that Missouri will be at the top of the list to change. Eight seats, two held safely by Democratic black members surrounding St. Louis and Kansas City and six held safely by white Republicans outside the major cities. It was Rep. Clay who pushed for the new alignment that will keep his St. Louis seat safely black for as long as he wants. Ironically, it was a black female Democrat who was the deciding vote to override Democratic Governor Nixons veto of the redistricting lines a few years back. Her comment was that she was black first, a Democrat second.
