A Missouri judge has struck down the ballot summary for a potential referendum on a congressional redistricting plan backed by President Donald Trump. A judge ruled Friday that a summary prepared by Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins was unfair and instead imposed a new version. Hoskins had described the old districts as gerrymandered, which he acknowledged could create favor for the new ones. The new districts are designed to give Republicans a chance at winning an additional seat. Opponents have submitted more than 300,000 petition signatures seeking to force a statewide referendum on the plan.
