NBC News, NPR and The New York Times report that Missouri voters rejected a Republican-drawn congressional map, and The Hill reports that Decision Desk HQ projects the ballot measure, Proposition A, will fail. The map redrew the district of longtime Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver into a heavily Republican one, the outlets say, after Missouri Republicans followed President Donald Trump’s call for mid-decade redistricting. The Times says it would have positioned Republicans to flip a Democratic-held seat in Kansas City. People Not Politicians Missouri said it gathered more than 300,000 signatures, well above the 106,000 needed, to put the map to a referendum; Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, a Republican, declined to certify it for the November ballot, saying it was unconstitutional.

In the outlets’ own words
Loaded verb
carve upMore neutral: redraw
The phrase describes splitting a district in a way that suggests an act of dismemberment rather than the neutral term redrawing.
The result is a blow for Republicans, who fought for more than a year to carve up one of the state’s two-Democratic-held districts.
