The Missouri Supreme Court on Thursday declined to strike down new state legislative districts, and suggested opponents of new state House districts take up their fight before a trial judge.
Missouri's high court declined the request to block a new map for the 163-member state House but permitted a legal challenge to be filed in circuit court. An attorney representing more than a dozen people who challenged the new House districts said the suit could be filed soon. The Supreme Court this month rejected new districts for the 34-member state Senate and ordered further legal review by a trial court in two separate lawsuits challenging a new U.S. House map that reconfigures the state into eight districts instead of the current nine.
