Missouri anti-redistricting campaign says it reached goal to force statewide vote on new map
Backers of a proposed referendum on Missouri's gerrymandered congressional plan believe they have met the minimum number of signatures needed to make the November ballot. The referendum aims to repeal and replace the current congressional district map with new boundaries that are more compact and keep cities and counties intact.
A campaign to force a statewide vote on Missouri's congressional district map has reached its goal of collecting enough signatures. The petition has at least 129% of the required signatures in five districts and 102% in the sixth. The referendum aims to repeal the current map and replace it with new boundaries. A court ruling revised the ballot summary to remove prejudicial language. The new language asks voters to approve or reject the new congressional boundaries. The campaign submitted over 300,000 signatures and is waiting for verification.
