Missouri judge strikes ballot summary for Trump-backed congressional redistricting plan
The ballot summary for Missouri's Trump-backed redistricting plan excludes the term 'gerrymandering' despite proposing new congressional districts for voter approval.
- If Missouri voters decide on new congressional districts backed by Trump, the ballot proposal will omit the term "gerrymandering" from its text.
- Missouri lawmakers approved the new congressional districts last September, making the state the second to adopt such maps after Texas.
- Opponents describe the maps as "gerrymandered" and challenge whether mid-decade redistricting violates Missouri's state constitution.
- A state judge's ruling marked at least a partial victory for opponents, addressing the ballot proposal verification process.
- Verification of petition signatures is underway as opponents seek enough valid signatures to force a statewide referendum on the redistricting plan.
