A group of Missouri voters has filed a petition with more than 300,000 signatures calling for a referendum that they hope will block a redistricting plan favorable to Republicans.
The group, known as People Not Politicians Missouri, filed the petition with the Secretary of State’s office on Dec. 9. Under state law, about 110,000 signatures are required to force a vote on the redistricting plan, which was enacted by the Legislature through a bill, H.B. 1, and signed into law on Sept. 28.
