Missouri redistricting

People Not Politicians submitted the signatures to force a statewide vote on Missouri's new gerrymandered congressional map.

Attorneys for People Not Politicians said in court Monday that a judge should rule against Secretary of State Denny Hoskins' actions on the proposed congressional redistricting referendum.

The federal case is one of multiple legal battles over the mid-decade redistricting.

Advocacy group People Not Politicians has until mid-December to collect more than 100,000 signatures across six of Missouri’s eight congressional districts. The lawsuit may help decide whether 90,000 collected in September and early October are valid.
