Missouri Supreme Court votes 7-0 to block the GOP House map for November

The 2022 map governs the midterms while a citizen referendum goes on the ballot.

Missouri will vote in November on its 2022 map — 6 Republican and 2 Democratic seats — after the court ruled a referendum backed by more than 300,000 signatures must go to voters. That likely saves Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's Kansas City district. The state attorney general said he will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
