Missouri Voters Get Final Say on Districts | Lawrence News

Missouri’s top court just struck down GOP-backed congressional maps, sending them back to voters for approval — a major blow to Republicans hoping to gain a seat. The ruling declares citizens can petition to vote on redistricting, overturning the Secretary of State’s block. While the Attorney General calls it a constitutional crisis and vows to take it to the U.S. Supreme Court, supporters hail it as democracy in action. The governor and AG argue this undermines voters who already used the old lines in primaries. This isn’t just Missouri — it’s part of a national trend challenging Republican gerrymandering, with this decision standing as a rare win for reformers.
