Missouri Ballot Battle Over Redistricting | Jefferson City News

Missouri’s Secretary of State just blocked two major citizen petitions from the November ballot — one to vote on the state’s new congressional map, the other to limit legislative power over citizen laws — claiming they’re unconstitutional. The move, made right before polls closed, has ignited a legal battle as the group behind the redistricting referendum files suit, arguing Hoskins is silencing voters and misreading the constitution. Critics call his actions partisan obstruction, while the lawsuit contends only specific bills are exempt from referendums — not redistricting. This showdown could decide whether Missouri voters get a say in their congressional map this fall. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
