Missouri’s new US House map goes to court while Louisiana and South Carolina consider redistricting
The justices weighed whether the map meets compactness rules and whether more than 300,000 referendum signatures should have paused it.
- 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.
