Missouri Redistricting Map Faces Legal Challenges and Referendum

A redistricting map passed during a special session of the Missouri General Assembly faces multiple legal challenges and a potential referendum before Missouri voters in 2026. The Missouri House spent approximately $159,706 on the special session, with the largest expenses being daily allowances for representatives, mileage reimbursements, and mapping software. Governor Mike Kehoe has not yet signed the legislation nearly two weeks after the session concluded.
