Summary
The Missouri Supreme Court just struck down the GOP-backed congressional map, ruling that voters—not lawmakers—must decide whether to adopt it. After Trump encouraged redrawing districts to flip Emanuel Cleaver’s seat, Republicans pushed through a new map—but opponents rallied 200K+ signatures demanding a public vote. The court sided with citizens, upholding the referendum process and forcing November’s election under the old lines. This win for voter sovereignty echoes nationwide battles over gerrymandering, proving that even when politicians draw maps, the people ultimately hold the power.
