Republicans in Missouri House Block New Constitution
Missouris Republican members of the House Committee on Constitutional Amendments voted as a unit against a favorable action on a bill to draft a new state constitution. They asserted no constitution should go to voters without Senate agreement to redistricting into new congressional and senatorial districts. Party leaders cited potential Democratic control of a convention under current districting, and discussed waiting for census redistricting in two years. The vote split evenly among Republicans while five Democrats supported a favorable report.

Secret meeting shapes constitutional convention delay plan
A decision formed at a secret meeting in Speaker O Fallon s office aimed to stall the constitutional convention bill until Democrats consent to redistricting. It is likely this action will not occur in the current legislative session. Democrats in the senate show little interest in pursuing a new constitution and may stick to the existing partisan advantage from the gerrymandered statewide districting.
