People Not Politicians files appeal over decision on ballot language over ‘Missouri First’ congressional map

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
People Not Politicians has filed a notice of appeal over ballot language that would ask voters whether or not to approve the 2025 “Missouri First” congressional map.
The group says the ballot summary written by the Missouri secretary of state was unfair and biased.
The ballot language says the new congressional boundaries keep more cities and counties intact and more compact. The executive director of people not politicians disagrees with calling the 20-25 maps “compact.”
The notice of appeal says that issue is expected to be discussed.
