Missouri Lawmaker Sued After Family Moves Out Of District

A Democrat campaigning for suburban St. Louis Republican Rep. Nick Schroer's seat says he should be kicked off the November ballot because he moved out of his district.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Schroer and his wife sold their O’Fallon home in May and bought a new one in Defiance, which is outside his House district. Schroer says his family moved so his daughter could go to another school district. He says he’s renting the basement of a family friend’s home in O’Fallon.

Democratic candidate Victoria Witt Datt is asking a judge to disqualify him from the ballot.
