Missouri voters sue to block new congressional map, citing constitutional requirement for referendum.
Voters in Missouri have sued to halt the state’s new congressional map, arguing it should be suspended immediately upon submission of over 300,000 petition signatures demanding a referendum, as required by the state constitution.
The ACLU filed the lawsuit in Cole County Circuit Court, claiming state officials, including Secretary of State Denny Hoskins and Attorney General Catherine Hanaway, are violating constitutional precedent by allowing the map to take effect before signature verification is complete.
The state maintains the map remains valid until certification, which could take months.
The legal challenge is one of at least nine related cases, with broader implications for the 2026 elections and the balance of power in Congress.
