The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The Missouri Supreme Court on Sept. 10 found Secretary of State Denny Hoskins in contempt for defying its order to use the 2022 congressional map for the Nov. 3 election, but imposed no penalty after he agreed to comply. Hoskins had told local election authorities to use a 2025 map approved by Republican lawmakers before reversing course in a 12:34 p.m. email. The dispute reached the U.S. Supreme Court twice in recent days, while Missouri Republicans threatened to impeach the state justices if they held Hoskins in contempt.
