‘Meet Me’: The ongoing fight over Missouri’s congressional maps

Author: St. Louis Public Radio August 28, 2026 Duration: 31:34
Missouri’s congressional map is one court ruling away from being locked in for the 2026 midterms. In Part 2 of the “Meet Me” podcast’s look at redistricting, host Luis Antonio Perez talks with voters about the confusing primary election. He then sits down with STLPR politics correspondent Jason Rosenbaum to unpack the redistricting drama and the upcoming court battle. Along the way, they revisit why the plot of the ‘90s film “Air Bud” is key to understanding the legal arguments over voting rights and representation in Missouri.
