In addition to the redistricting ruling from the Missouri Supreme Court that Travis flagged yesterday, there was this news:
The Missouri Supreme Court on Thursday ordered Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to place an initiative petition aimed at strengthening Missouri’s initiative and referendum process back on the November general election ballot, reversing a Cole County judge who had upheld Hoskins’ decision to declare the petition insufficient.
The unanimous ruling in Harris v. Hoskins found that Hoskins failed to comply with state law when he rejected Initiative Petition 2026-106 less than an hour before the statutory deadline on Aug. 4. The court ordered Hoskins to issue a certificate of sufficiency and take all necessary steps to place the measure on the ballot before Sept. 8.
The court ruling also rejected a single-subject challenge to the measure.
