congressional redistricting map

Secretary of State Denny Hoskins is appealing the order to use the same congressional maps as 2024 to the U.S. Supreme Court. State law sets Tuesday as the deadline for changes to the Nov. 3 ballot.

The Missouri Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday on a trio of cases on referendums, including about whether residents can vote on a congressional map.

Cole County Judge Daniel Green ruled that without specific authorization, Missourians cannot vote on whether to overturn a federal congressional map.

A Cole County judge ruled Monday that the Missouri Secretary of State's Office rightfully threw out some signatures gathered for a referendum petition that would force a statewide vote on Missouri's gerrymandered congressional district map.

A Cole County judge granted the request Wednesday, despite concerns the move could delay a case that must be resolved before the November election.

Most Columbia voters will cast their congressional ballots for the first time Aug. 4 in the redrawn U.S. District 3.

A top DOJ official has suggested the agency supports scrutinizing the districts. The demand seems to extend the Supreme Court’s April 29 decision that limited states from using race to draw districts.

The head of the state clerks association says local election officials still lack access to the voter database needed to finalize new district assignments.

Brianna Lennon says she cannot determine which congressional map is in effect for the Aug. 4 primary.

The court will hear arguments that it should throw out the map passed by Republicans in a special session because it makes districts that are not compact. In the second case, the judges will consider whether a referendum filing automatically prevents a new law from taking effect.
