US EditionMissouri Redistricting Referendum Faces Signature Verification Hurdle ...
Secretary Hoskins withheld 16,705 petition pages dated before Oct. 14, disputing their validity in a case that could decide Missouri’s congressional map referendum.
- Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins delivered 33,068 petition pages to local election authorities and withheld others, saying signatures before Oct. 14 are invalid.
- Aimed at changing representation, the new map sought to flip the 5th District after lawmakers revised the map during a special session under pressure from President Donald Trump, prompting a petition drive.
- Filed totals show 305,968 signatures across 49,773 pages, including 59,823 in Jackson County, 30,110 in Boone County, and 71,008 in St. Louis County.
- On Dec. 12, Judge Christopher Limbaugh said he will wait for verification results before ruling, with People Not Politicians estimating about 103,000 signatures and needing approximately 110,000 to qualify.
- Because some pages weren't forwarded, verification gaps leave district outcomes uncertain as only two-thirds of petition pages will be verified, yet raw counts show city of St. Louis and Greene County may qualify the 1st and 7th Congressional Districts.
