Missouri Supreme Court Considers Contempt Action Against Secretary of State Over Redistricting

The Missouri Supreme Court is considering contempt proceedings against Secretary of State Denny Hoskins for violating a ruling that prohibits the use of a newly drawn GOP congressional map. The court has ordered Hoskins to explain his actions and to appear for a hearing. This legal conflict follows a series of court rulings, including a rejection of Hoskins' appeal by the U.S. Supreme Court and a federal judge's ruling requiring the use of the new map, which aims to eliminate a Democratic-held seat.
