    It just depends on who turns out more voters: KC/STL/Springfield or the rural areas.

    In the 90’s and early 00’s, Missouri was a battleground state that generally elected Democrats. It’s easier to elect Republicans here because we legalized gerrymandering a few years ago, and I don’t expect that to change in the near-term. The assholes in Jeff City have done a great job blunting the political power of Kansas City and St. Louis.
