Kavanaugh Denies Missouri's Bid To Revive Its Republican Congressional Map

Kavanaugh Denies Missouri's Bid To Revive Its Republican Congressional Map

Secretary Denny Hoskins filed docket 26A304 on September 4, asking justices to lift Missouri's high court block on the map.

  • Missouri Attorney General Louis Capozzi argued the case for Hoskins before Justice Kavanaugh alone.
  • Elias Law Group's Abha Khanna represented respondent Richard Von Glahn against the map.
  • Republican committees and Florida's government filed briefs for the map; three amicus briefs opposed it.

Why it matters: A secretary of state fighting to keep his own map is choosing his voters before they choose him.
