## Resource

Missouri’s Secretary of State is locked in a legal showdown over whether he must release sensitive records on signature verification for a ballot referendum challenging the state’s controversial new congressional map. The group behind the petition, People Not Politicians, claims Hoskins is deliberately delaying to protect the map’s implementation, while his office insists it’s legally justified to withhold documents due to ongoing litigation. With over 300,000 signatures submitted and only partial pages reviewed, the fate of the referendum—and Missouri’s electoral future—hangs in the balance as courts continue to weigh the legality of the redistricting plan.
