CASE SUMMARY
On March 11, 2022, a group of Missouri voters filed a lawsuit against Missouri’s Secretary of State challenging the state’s then-existing congressional redistricting plan, enacted in 2011, as unconstitutionally malapportioned in violation of the Missouri Constitution’s one person, one vote requirement under article III, § 45. Plaintiffs also alleged the Governor and General Assembly wouldn’t be able to enact a new plan in time for the 2022 election and sought a judicial declaration that the 2011 plan was unconstitutional, an injunction barring its use in future elections, and for the court to draft and adopt its own plan for use in 2022.
- On May 20, 2022, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their lawsuit.
