Missouri’s Map Maze Heads to Court | Kansas City News

Governor Mike Kehoe is clinging to hope that Missouri can still use the controversial 2025 congressional map, despite mounting pressure from GOP leaders and legal hurdles. While the U.S. Supreme Court has blocked the map twice and the Missouri Supreme Court ordered its temporary halt until voters decide in November, Kehoe is watching the Eighth Circuit for a potential reversal. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins has instructed election officials to use the 2022 maps — a move Kehoe criticizes as premature — but the Missouri Supreme Court warns he could face contempt if he overrides their directive. With the federal court case set for a final hearing on September 17th and ballots needing to reach overseas voters by the 19th, election workers are caught in a legal whirlwind with no clear path forward.
