JEFFERSON CITY — It was unclear Tuesday whether a proposal to roll back voter-enacted redistricting changes was dead — or if it just appeared that way.

At issue is a procedural snafu that took place Monday in the Senate Fiscal Oversight Committee.

At the time, the committee was considering a ballot measure that would ask voters to scrap the “nonpartisan demographer” they had approved last year. That person will be in charge of drawing state legislative maps after the 2020 census.

The Senate committee is made up of five Republicans and two Democrats. Three of the Republicans missed the vote, meaning the measure failed to advance to the Senate floor on a 2-2 vote along party lines.

One way to resurrect the measure would be for one of the senators who cast “no” votes to move to reconsider their vote and then change their vote. But it’s not clear whether that would happen.

“I’ll be staying a ‘no,’” said Sen. John Rizzo, D-Independence. “I will not be changing my vote.

“You have to be vigilant about making sure (dead) bills stay dead,” Rizzo said.
