Missouri Court Trims Anti-Gerrymandering Referendum

Missouri Appeals Court Trims Anti-Gerrymandering Referendum: A Missouri appeals court has narrowed the scope of an anti-gerrymandering referendum, removing key claims that the new congressional map splits fewer cities and appears more compact than the old one. The referendum, backed by People Not Politicians, seeks to replace the Republican-drawn map that divides Kansas City into three GOP-leaning districts. Lawmakers have targeted Democratic Rep Emanuel Cleaver, and theres speculation about splitting St Louis similarly. The Missouri Supreme Court will hear two significant cases on May 16th, which could further impact the referendum and potentially leave elections in limbo.
