Missouri voters are suing Secretary of State Denny Hoskins for an $80 million redistricting mistake that altered election boundaries. The botched maps potentially affected multiple elections.
Missouri voters are suing Secretary of State Denny Hoskins for $80 million over a major redistricting error that altered election boundaries. The botched maps potentially affected multiple elections, meaning voters were casting ballots in districts that shouldn't have existed as drawn. An $80 million claim suggests the plaintiffs' lawyers are valuing the damage as either widespread or affecting numerous elections.
Redistrictingmistakes happen, but they usually get caught and fixed before an election. This one didn't—voters went to the polls not knowing their districts were wrong. The damage compounds: if multiple elections were affected by the bad map, then the results of those elections are tainted. We don't know yet if the map actually changed outcomes, but the principle is clear: voters were voting based on incorrect boundaries. Suing for $80 million is the voters' way of saying this wasn't a minor clerical error; it was consequential misconduct.
