Missouri voter initiative campaign needs 110,000 signatures to force vote on new maps

If they can get a 110,000 signatures by December 11th an Amendment would probably be on the ballot for the midterms in November 2026 for the new Congressional district map. Even if it fails it would stop the new map from being used in the midterms. The Democrats have a good initiative signature campaign. They have been very good at getting Amendments on the ballot. Because Republicans control both houses the Democrats have used voter initiatives to help get what they want(Abortion, sports betting, minimum wage increase, Marijuana).

Even as court cases seek to throw out the new redistricting plan approved in the special session, a referendum campaign to put it before voters is gaining momentum. At the same time, campaign committees are preparing to battle over the initiative process

Richard von Glahn, a veteran of four initiative campaigns on minimum wage, is leading the effort to put the new congressional map on the ballot. If the campaign committee People NOT Politicians collects about 110,000 signatures by Dec. 11, the law revising the state’s eight congressional districts will not take effect until there is a statewide vote.

They have people that canvass and get the same people to sign each initiative. They usually try and get double the amount of signatures needed. They will probably try and get triple the amount of signatures needed in case the state legislature try and change the amount of signatures needed. My guess is they will get more than enough signatures by December 11th.
