Story summary

The American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri (ACLU) filed a lawsuit challenging the 2026 congressional map.
The suit argues the map should be suspended because more than 300,000 petition signatures were submitted.
Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway, a Republican, says the map remains in effect until the Secretary of State verifies the signatures.
Missouri's constitution allows petitions to suspend laws, which could delay decisions until candidate filing ends March 31.
