Response to this claim
Under the Missouri Constitution, the referendum petition kept House Bill 1 from taking effect, so the 2022 map is the only valid congressional map and must be used in the 2026 general election.
“A win for justice. A win for democracy. A win for the people of Missouri. It is my hope that state officials will start following court orders and end this shameful attempt to break Missouri law and silence Missouri voters.”
Post from Cleaver's official congressional account, a government-verified account, responding to the Supreme Court's September 10 order.
The reference point is use of the 2025 map in the 2026 general election. Cleaver welcomes the stay that keeps the 2025 map out of the general election and criticizes the effort to use it as a breach of Missouri law, which condemns that use. The closest competing label, “Mixed or conditional”, loses because he attaches no condition.
