Missouri's Secretary of State Blocks a Referendum on the GOP's Redrawn Map

Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins said he would not certify a referendum seeking to undo the state's new Republican-drawn congressional map, arguing that the effort is unconstitutional. Organizers had been gathering signatures to put the map to a statewide vote. The decision pushes the fight into court and keeps a map that could decide control of the U.S. House in place for now.
