HANS VON SPAKOVSKY: Purcell Doctrine, Missouri Map Dispute & Citizenship Census Proposal

Senior Legal Fellow Hans von Spakovsky joins Marc Cox to analyze the legal standoff over Missouri’s congressional redistricting map, featuring commentary from Congressman Bob Onder. Von Spakovsky explains the federal Purcell doctrine, which counsels courts against making late-stage election changes that create voter confusion, and addresses the constitutional tension between state court mandates and federal voting protections. The segment concludes with a discussion on the Trump administration's proposal to exclude non-citizens and undocumented immigrants from the U.S. Census population totals used for congressional apportionment.
