Missouri’s Election Map Drama Resolved | Columbia News

Missouri’s Secretary of State narrowly avoided impeachment after a dramatic courtroom showdown over congressional maps — only to flip his position and comply with the court just hours after being slapped with a contempt ruling. Faced with pressure from GOP leaders pushing a partisan redistricting plan, Hoskins initially defied the state Supreme Court’s order to use the 2022 map. But when the high court threatened legal consequences, he reversed course — telling officials to revert to the old map. The Chief Justice accepted his about-face as “purging” himself of contempt. With the U.S. Supreme Court blocking the new map’s federal approval, Missouri will likely stick with the 2022 version for November’s election — even as some Republicans vow to punish judges if Hoskins is held in contempt.
