question everything

Districts redrawn [View all]

I know that districts can change size and/or shape, but here the state districts "moved."

I used to be in District 44, NW of the Metro, now I am in 42. District 44 is now in Maplewood. Next to District 40. Why is that?

Also, some legislators no longer represent their current constituents, including my senator. Yet, we don't have senate elections until 2024, right?

Strange.
