Missouri Congressional Map Faces November Referendum Challenge Over 1 Additional GOP Seat

Summary
Opponents asked a court to block Missouri’s new congressional map until voters can decide it in a November referendum.
The map, approved by Republican state lawmakers last year, was drawn to give the GOP 1 more U.S. House seat.
If judges allow the referendum request, Tuesday’s primary results under the new lines could be thrown into doubt, including whether the winners are the official nominees.
The fight injects fresh uncertainty into Missouri’s midterm election process as the state heads toward both a court ruling and a possible statewide vote.
