US EditionSecretary of State Denny Hoskins Admits Writing Flawed Ballot Summary for Missouri Gerrymandering Referendum
Hoskins admitted the ballot summary unfairly prejudiced a referendum on Missouri's congressional map and agreed to revise it during ongoing court negotiations.
- On Friday, Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins admitted he wrote a ballot summary likely to create prejudice, and Kathleen Hunker said it will be revised in negotiations with referendum sponsors.
- The ballot summary described the law as repealing Missouri's existing gerrymandered plan that protects incumbents and replacing it with boundaries that keep more cities intact, which People Not Politicians challenged and sued over on Nov. 20.
- Hoskins' office has offered conflicting statements about which pages are being checked, with Rachael Dunn saying no signature checks are in progress and Peters claiming pages are checked.
- Judge Brian Stumpe ordered Hoskins to revise the ballot summary and set a trial for next Friday, with Feb. 9 as a fallback if no agreement is reached.
- Beyond the summary dispute, Missouri Republicans, holding six of eight seats and winning about 60% of recent votes, seek to flip U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's district amid eight related lawsuits over the 2022 congressional map.
