Opponents of a new Missouri congressional map backed by President Donald Trump have filed a lawsuit asking a court to suspend the districts for the 2026 elections
The Missouri attorney general claims that the Republican-drawn congressional map is now active. But an anti-redistricting campaign argues that the law must be suspended while the state determines if enough valid signatures were submitted to force a statewide vote.
The proposed agreement would hand the federal government new power over state election administration, alarming election officials and privacy advocates.
