RNC and NRCC file lawsuit defending Missouri's new congressional map against Democratic challenges

The Republican National Committee (RNC) and National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) filed a lawsuit defending Missouri's new congressional map against Democratic challenges. The lawsuit seeks to block certification of a referendum to restore the previous map until signature verification is complete, with Republicans asserting the new map complies with the Missouri Constitution. Opponents argue the map violates constitutional provisions, while the RNC cited a recent Supreme Court ruling on Louisiana's congressional map to support its position.
