  "summary": "The Missouri Supreme Court has halted a congressional map drawn by the state's Republican Party, which was expected to give the GOP an extra House seat. The court's unanimous decision on Thursday stems from a referendum petition organized by Democrats to have the new congressional maps put to a vote. The court ruled that the map was improperly deemed insufficient by Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins and ordered the gerrymandered map to be put to a vote in the fall. This means that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's original Kansas City-based district will likely remain in Democratic hands during the upcoming midterms.",
