Missouri Court Blocks New Congressional Map | Kansas City News

Missouri’s Supreme Court just struck down the state’s new congressional map, blocking its use in the November election after a unanimous ruling that Secretary of State Denny Hoskins overstepped by trying to keep it off the ballot. The map, drawn by Republicans and targeted at specific reps like Emanuel Cleaver, was challenged by a group with 305,000 signatures demanding a public vote — which the court upheld as legal. Voters will now decide whether the new map takes effect, while the old 2022 map remains in place for November. The Attorney General plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, but time is tight — no new ballot items can be added after Tuesday. Election officials in Jackson County say they’re ready to revert to the old map, though uncertainty remains around August primary results.
