Missouri voters block Republican-drawn congressional map
The measure would have shifted Kansas City’s 5th District and given Republicans a likely 7-1 advantage in the state’s congressional delegation.
- On Tuesday, Missouri voters rejected Proposition A, the Republican-backed 2025 congressional map, according to a race call by the Associated Press.
- GOP lawmakers enacted the 2025 map to increase Republican representation, specifically targeting Democratic Congressman Emanuel Cleaver by splitting his Kansas City district.
- Following months of legal battles, the U.S. Supreme Court and Missouri Supreme Court ruled the state's 2022 district lines must remain in place for the general election.
- Cleaver secured reelection on Tuesday, while voters rejected the map 62% to 38%, denying Republicans their redistricting goal.
- Although the 2025 map is blocked, Republicans could attempt to redraw districts again in 2027 or 2028, as a Missouri Supreme Court decision opened the door for future redistricting.
