Missouri Republicans Robert Onder and Rick Brattin are asking a federal appeals court to reinstate the 2025 congressional map and potentially block a referendum, while election clerks warn another late change could disrupt ballot preparation. The appeal comes as the 2022 map is currently in use for the 2026 general election.
ALSO MENTIONED Denny Hoskins, Missouri secretary of state whose actions implementing competing court orders are at issue.; Lou Capozzi, Missouri solicitor general arguing on Hoskins’ behalf for the 2025 map and against the referendum.; Stephen Clark, Chief U.S. district judge who issued the order directing Hoskins to use the 2025 map.
