When playing a game of football with friends, the rules are simple and have already been agreed upon: whoever ends with the highest score wins.  But what if halfway through the game, one team decides to change the rules to favor themselves? Whether it’s moving their goalposts closer to them or playing with an extra player, these changes may allow them to win — but at the cost of a fair game.

But Republicans are currently changing the rules not just in Missouri, but across the country — through mid-decade redistricting of congressional districts. Instead of making extra touchdowns, they’re giving themselves extra members in Congress.

Redistricting is supposed to happen every 10 years when the decennial census is released. The whole point of redistricting is to reflect population changes.
