Just days after Missouri Republicans passed a gerrymandered congressional map that carves up Kansas City, a new campaign is charging forward with a plan asking voters to repeal it.

The special session featured a number of unprecedented actions that would have been unthinkable just a few months ago, when President Trump demanded that Republican leaders redraw the state's congressional lines.

Various states in the U.S. are locked in a fight over redistricting. It’s all centered on which party will keep the House next year. Republicans now have a slim majority, 219 seats to 213.It started this summer when President Donald Trump asked Republicans in Texas to redraw the state’s congressional maps early.

Missouri Lawmakers are set to re-draw the state's congressional districts to give Republicans an extra seat in the midterms. This is in direct response to a request from President Trump, but many Missourians aren't fond of the idea.

A referendum could repeal any map approved by the legislature, while delays could push past deadlines for finalizing ballots in time for a 2026 vote.

Early voting is beginning in the Sept. 30 recall election for Jackson County Executive Frank White Jr. Supporters of the recall are upset about how White handled property assessments. Opponents say the construction lobby is trying to clear the path for “sweetheart stadium deals.

There are also two locations open for Jackson County residents who don't reside within city limits: the Jackson County Absentee Election Office at 110 N. Liberty Street in Independence and the Woods Chapel Community Church of Christ at 500 NE Woods Chapel Road in Lee's Summit.
