Missouri Supreme Court Hears Final Case to Overturn Gerrymandered Congressional Map

The Missouri Supreme Court has rejected a legal challenge to the governor’s authority to call special sessions of the state legislature.

The ruling upholds the power of the executive branch to convene the legislature for special sessions, dismissing the effort to limit that authority.

This decision comes as the state’s highest court manages other significant litigation regarding the state’s political and electoral framework.

Among these matters is a case concerning Missouri’s newly gerrymandered congressional map. This litigation is identified as the final case that could potentially overturn the current congressional maps without the need for a statewide vote.
