On May 12, the Missouri Supreme Court heard two cases over the validity of the new U.S. House district boundaries. Healey v State of Missouri, SC 101570, is whether the new districts violate the state constitution, which requires that districts be compact. Haggard v State of Missouri, SC 101581, challenges the Secretary of State’s decision to ignore the referendum petition filed against the new district boundaries.
