Politico Reveals Missouri Democrats Scrounging For Cash Against Redistricting

Fight the GOP isn't easy in flyover country . . . Here's a peek at scarce resources to battle a super-majority . . . Check-it: 

"Unlike the high-profile battle in California, support from national Democrats is comparatively sparse in the Midwest, although some groups have waded into the fight. The National Democratic Redistricting Committee’s legal arm is coordinating challenges to Republican redistricting measures around the country, including in Missouri. The Democratic National Committee is offering staff and additional organizing support in Missouri and Ohio. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee commissioned a poll showing nearly half of Missouri voters oppose the new maps.

"But there has been no multimillion-dollar ad campaign featuring some of the party’s top national stars, as in California, and those on the ground say they don’t expect that level of support.

"The referendum initiative in Missouri is being organized by People Not Politicians with support from state and national Democrats. The committee will need to collect over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11. If Democrats can collect enough valid signatures, the state would be temporarily unable to enact the new maps until voters can weigh in on the referendum."
