Episode Details

Missouri’s Supreme Court just handed down a historic, unanimous ruling blocking the state’s new GOP-drawn congressional map — sending voters back to the old one for November’s election, with the controversial new map now on the ballot as Proposition A. The showdown began when grassroots group People Not Politicians collected signatures to put the map to a public vote — and now, with the ballot deadline fast approaching, voters may even be voting in a different district than they did in the primary. Attorney General Catherine Hanaway is refusing to back down, calling the decision a constitutional crisis and preparing to take the case to federal court — but legal experts warn her chances are slim, citing the Purcell principle that typically keeps federal courts from meddling in election rules so close to Election Day. The outcome could reshape how districts are drawn — and who gets to decide.
