Missouri Voters Sue Over Redistricting Map | St. Louis News

Five Missouri voters are suing Secretary of State Denny Hoskins for nearly $80 million, claiming he illegally rejected a referendum challenging the state’s new congressional map — even though it had enough valid signatures. The lawsuit accuses him of ignoring legal requirements and relying on flawed legal advice, while pushing a map that wasn’t supposed to be used. This redistricting mess, designed to favor Republicans, has already sparked court battles, including conflicting orders from Missouri’s Supreme Court and federal judges. Voters argue Hoskins violated state law by failing to uphold his duties, potentially exposing him to damages of up to $500 per signer — and this high-stakes case could reshape how Missouri handles elections and redistricting going forward.
