Missouri voters sue Denny Hoskins, seek $80 million over redistricting referendum - FOX 2

Five Missouri voters have filed a lawsuit against Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, seeking an estimated $80 million in damages over his handling of a referendum challenging the state's 2025 congressional redistricting map.
The legal action centers on the state's redrawn congressional boundaries, which the referendum sought to put before voters for a public vote.
The plaintiffs allege that Hoskins' actions regarding the referendum process harmed Missouri voters, forming the basis for their substantial damages claim.
The case was filed in Jefferson City, the state capital, where matters involving the Secretary of State's office and statewide election disputes are commonly handled.
The dispute reflects ongoing tensions surrounding the 2025 congressional map and the effort by residents to use the referendum mechanism to contest it.
