Summary
Denny Hoskins told Missouri counties on Thursday to stop using the redrawn congressional map and revert after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the Republican-favored plan.
Boone County’s lines changed twice in one day, leaving election officials scrambling to reset from a Third-Fifth District split to a Third-Fourth split.
The reversal caps a year of partisan and legal fighting that has sent Missouri’s map through state and federal courts, with contradictory rulings repeatedly changing district boundaries.
With ballot preparation already underway, the latest court-driven shift has left voters, candidates and county clerks uncertain which congressional lines will govern the election.
