Opponents of Missouri's new congressional map, backed by President Donald Trump, submitted over 300,000 petition signatures to trigger a statewide referendum.This effort by People Not Politicians seeks to block a Republican-drawn map, approved in September, which notably eliminates Democrat Emanuel Cleaver's Kansas City-based district.Republican officials, including Secretary of State
Denny Hoskins, challenge the referendum's legality, while its validation could significantly impact the upcoming November election for
House control.
