Overview

• Democrats' filibuster has halted all actions in the Missouri Senate for over 22 hours.
• The proposed GOP measure would require constitutional amendments to gain majority support in five of eight congressional districts.
• Democrats argue the measure dilutes urban and suburban voting power, labeling added provisions as deceptive 'ballot candy.'
• Republicans aim to place the measure on the August ballot before a potential vote on abortion rights in November.
• Senate Republicans consider using a rare procedural maneuver to end the filibuster, risking further chamber discord.
