Missouri’s Congressional Map in Supreme Court | Lawrence News

Missouri’s congressional map is locked in a high-stakes legal battle heading to the U.S. Supreme Court, with critics claiming the 2025 map unfairly favors Republicans and undermines Kansas City’s representation. The state attorney general wants to keep it in place to avoid confusing voters who already voted under old lines, but a Missouri Supreme Court ruling forced the map onto the November 2026 ballot after a veto petition gathered over 300,000 signatures. Now, ACLU and other groups are fighting back, calling the state’s appeal a power grab that ignores voter will—and warn this could reshape how laws are changed in Missouri, especially as Amendment Six, which protects voter-approved laws, also hits the ballot. The Supreme Court’s decision could decide not just Missouri’s next election map, but set a national precedent on democracy and redistricting.
