No, it's not about renaming Missouri to "Miss America".
=================================================
The no-holds-barred fight over congressional maps in Missouri has reached a new level of intensity with the state’s high court opening a contempt probe into Secretary of State Denny Hoskins.
The Missouri Supreme Court late Tuesday issued an order asking Hoskins, a Republican, to explain “why he should not be held in contempt” for violating a ruling last week that said the state cannot use a newly drawn GOP map.
Despite the ruling, Hoskins continued to push to use the new map.
The court also ordered Hoskins to appear in person when the judges hold a hearing in the case Thursday.
Hoskins indicated in a post on X that he would not back down.
“I look forward to my day in court,” he said.
The state court order came after a flurry of court activity Tuesday.
