Missouri’s Gerrymandering Mess | Kansas City News

Missouri’s Supreme Court has halted the use of a heavily gerrymandered congressional map that split Kansas City into three districts, pushing the decision to voters in November while reverting to the 2022–2024 map for now. The move leaves primaries conducted under the old map in legal limbo, creating confusion over candidate eligibility and potential legal battles. The Attorney General plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, while candidates who won under the now-invalidated map face uncertainty as they’ll be running in redrawn districts. Secretary of State Denny Hoskins insists candidates remain on the ballot but admits no official changes have been determined yet, warning parties may need to step in to officially nominate replacements before Election Day.
