The U.S. Supreme Court's unsigned emergency order ends a yearlong clash between a federal district judge and the Missouri Supreme Court over which congressional map governs the November election. Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, who faced a state contempt hearing after following the federal order, has now directed local officials to use the 2022 districts. The reversal means Missouri could run its general election on lines different from its August primary, affecting more than a million voters.
Conflicting state and federal rulings over Missouri's congressional map have thrown the state's eight House races into legal limbo, forcing the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in just nine days before the September 19 overseas-ballot mailing deadline. The case tests unresolved boundaries from Moore v. Harper between state and federal judicial authority, and whether the Purcell principle can discipline late-stage redistricting litigation.
The Supreme Court's denial of Missouri's emergency stay leaves the 2022 congressional map in place pending a statewide referendum, upending primary results and sharpening the tension between referendum rights and the Purcell principle. Justice Kavanaugh's order diverges from the Court's California and Texas redistricting rulings, giving election-law practitioners a new fact pattern on late-breaking ballot changes.
Missouri's emergency Supreme Court application tests whether a state referendum can suspend a congressional map after a primary. The dispute centers on more than 300,000 signatures and a November ballot question on the map.
The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously held that a referendum petition with more than 300,000 signatures was valid, blocking a GOP-favorable congressional map and keeping the 2020-census districts in place for November 2026. The ruling resolves a state constitutional question over whether the referendum power reaches redistricting and sets up a likely U.S. Supreme Court appeal by Missouri's attorney general.
