Statement from Secretary of State Denny Hoskins

… <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">“<span style="color: black;">Today</span>’<span style="color: black;">s Missouri Supreme Court rulings ignite nothing short of a Constitutional crisis. No court has ever rejected a congressional map that had already been used in an election, as the Missouri First Map was in the August primary.</span></span></strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;">We may have lost the battle today, but the war to preserve our constitutional republic is far from over. As I</span></strong><strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">’<span style="color: black;">ve said throughout this process, I will not be intimidated, I will not be deterred, I remain steadfast in my fight to defend the United States and Missouri Constitutions. As a fifth-generation Missourian, I will proudly fall on my sword to save this great state from out-of-state special interests and their out-of-state sugar daddies. Missouri will not become another New York City or Los Angeles on my watch.</span>”</span></strong><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"></span></p></div> …
