US EditionMissouri campaign to repeal gerrymandered map plans to submit signatures next week
The campaign aims to challenge Missouri's new congressional map by submitting signatures for a voter referendum next week, following protests at the state Capitol.
- Next week, the People Not Politicians PAC will submit signatures to put the congressional map on Missouri's statewide ballot, potentially pausing it until voters decide next year.
- The legislature's new congressional map prompted the citizen-led repeal campaign, as the Missouri legislature approved a map that would give the GOP an additional House seat.
- Campaign organizers say the petition contains 206,000 signatures, surpassing the at least 106,000 threshold across six districts, though Secretary of State Denny Hoskins warned 90,000 may be invalid.
- Attorney General Catherine Hanaway sued to block the referendum process, filing a federal lawsuit arguing the map should not face a citizen vote as protesters gathered in the Missouri Capitol rotunda.
- Last month's Texas court ruling already complicated national map plans, raising stakes for Missouri's fight as the Dec. 8 deadline adds uncertainty and setbacks to Trump's redistricting effort.
