Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins Rejects Referendum on Congressional Map Amid Legal Challenges

Secretary of State Denny Hoskins has rejected a citizens' petition for a referendum on Missouri's GOP-drawn congressional map, claiming it is unconstitutional and cannot be subject to voter referendums.
The group People Not Politicians Missouri submitted over 300,000 signatures, but Hoskins stated that the number of signatures does not matter under Missouri law.
Legal challenges to Hoskins' decision are expected, with supporters asserting they have enough signatures to qualify the referendum for the ballot.
