The Missouri Constitution clearly states “any measure referred to the people shall take effect when approved by a majority of the votes cast thereon, and not otherwise.” (Article III 52(b))
When Missourians submitted 305,968 signatures to the Missouri Secretary of State to put HB1, politicians’ gerrymandered map, to a vote of the people, the map should immediately be paused and not go into effect.
But Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins and Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway don’t like following the Missouri Constitution. Unelected AG Hanaway claims the maps have gone into effect, and SOS Hoskins has gone along with her claim that the map has gone into effect on Thursday, December 11.
