Kansas City, MO, September 27, 2026 — Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins is facing a second class action lawsuit from voters within a span of less than a week. The legal action, lodged in Cole County, centers on allegations that Secretary Hoskins intentionally postponed his decision regarding the state’s congressional redistricting referendum.
According to the lawsuit, this delay led to primary elections being conducted based on district maps that are now disputed. A significant consequence highlighted in the suit is that voters cast ballots in primary election districts that differ from the districts they will utilize for the upcoming general election.
The plaintiffs are seeking damages on behalf of voters who they assert were affected by this situation. Further details regarding the specific timeline of the delay, the exact nature of the redistricting referendum, or the specific districts involved were not immediately available.
The contractor’s name was not provided. The fine amount was not provided. The outcome of any prior inspections or the status of any permits were not detailed in the information provided.
