Missouri Court Keeps Trump-Backed GOP Map, Blocks Referendum
TL;DR Summary
A Cole County judge ruled that Missouri's constitutional referendum provisions do not apply to congressional redistricting enacted by the General Assembly, upholding a Republican-drawn map for the 2026 midterms and rejecting a petition to overturn it; the map reshapes Kansas City’s districts and expands Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's district into rural areas, leaving the GOP map in place as appeals proceed.
