(SecState) Hoskins conceded that the only court order currently in effect is that of the Missouri Supreme Court, which ruled last week that the redrawn 2025 congressional map was not in effect, and never had been in effect, because it is subject to a referendum.

“My Office is directing local election authorities to use the 2022 congressional map,” Hoskins said.

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway also issued a statement Thursday afternoon, saying she supported Hoskins’ action.

“We affirm the Secretary of State of Denny Hoskins’ position and decision to advise local election authorities that the 2022 map is in effect,” Hanaway said. “We respect and will continue to comply with all court decisions, including orders issued by the Supreme Court of Missouri. We appreciate Secretary Hoskins’s continued commitment to upholding the law and working diligently to fulfill his duties on behalf of Missouri.”
