Missouri’s new US House map goes to court while Louisiana and South Carolina consider redistricting
Opponents say the map weakens Kansas City’s Democratic vote and could give Republicans a 7-1 advantage in Missouri’s U.S. House delegation.
- On Tuesday, the Missouri Supreme Court began hearing arguments in three cases challenging congressional district maps lawmakers approved in 2025.
- With President Donald Trump's backing, Republican officials adopted the new map last September, targeting the Kansas City district held by Democratic U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver.
- Opponents submitted more than 300,000 petition signatures seeking a referendum to suspend the districts, but Republican Attorney General Catherine Hanaway and Secretary of State Denny Hoskins argue the districts remain valid.
- Lawmakers in Louisiana and South Carolina are simultaneously weighing whether to redraw House districts ahead of midterm elections, as a national redistricting battle intensifies following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act.
- Political risks loom as aggressive redrawing could backfire by making districts competitive for Democrats, while some senators remain uncertain if the proposed maps guarantee a clean sweep for Republicans.
