Missouri AG Pushes Gerrymander Case to Supreme Court | Kansas City News

Missouri’s Attorney General Catherine Hanaway is pushing a gerrymandered congressional map case to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing the state Supreme Court’s ruling—requiring a voter referendum before the map can be scrapped—disenfranchises citizens. With President Trump calling it a “Dark Day for ‘Justice’ in Missouri” and warning there may not be time to redraw maps before Election Day, Hanaway faces fierce criticism, including from referendum backers who call her move a “fool’s errand.” The tight legal deadline looms: ballot items must be added by Tuesday, and Hanaway’s plan risks being blocked. Meanwhile, GOP leaders, who backed the controversial map designed to split Kansas City into Republican districts, are furious, with Governor Mike Kehoe slamming judges as “unelected” and accusing them of undermining the legislature.
