Last week, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that voters should elect members of Congress from a 2022 map, not the new map passed<\/u><\/span> by the state legislature during a special session in September 2025. Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins then asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule the state court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

Missouri was one of the first states to take up President Donald Trump\u2019s call to engage in mid-decade redistricting efforts ahead of the midterms. The new map would probably give Republicans seven of the state\u2019s eight U.S. House seats, one more than they hold now, by slicing 11-term Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver\u2019s Kansas City district into three parts.<\/p>

People Not Politicians Missouri, which sued the state<\/u><\/span> over the redistricting plan and the state\u2019s rejection of a petition to put the issue on the November ballot, responded Monday to a petition in front of the U.S. Supreme Court to halt the state high court\u2019s decision.That was the deadline the group had been given by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who covers this region for emergency appeals.<\/p>\n
