Missouri Redistricting Opponents Appeal to Supreme Court Over New Map
Opponents say the map would add a Republican seat and disenfranchise more than 300,000 voters who backed a referendum.
- On Thursday, the Supreme Court rejected a push to use Missouri congressional maps backed by President Donald Trump, marking the second time the high court refused to intervene in the redistricting dispute.
- After Trump urged Republicans to redraw House lines last year, Missouri enacted new districts targeting a Kansas City-based seat held by Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver to help Republicans gain one seat.
- The Missouri Supreme Court ordered State Denny Hoskins to place the redistricting referendum on the November ballot last week, ruling the new districts never became law.
- District Judge Stephen Clark barred Hoskins from using anything other than the new map, prompting the Missouri Supreme Court to order Hoskins to appear for a contempt hearing Thursday.
- Use of the previous map in the November election now appears certain, with the current plan including six Republicans and two Democrats as ballots begin going out shortly before the midterm elections.
