The Missouri Supreme Court found Secretary of State Denny Hoskins in contempt Thursday, but said he has since reversed his contemptuous behavior and "purged" himself of contempt by ordering the use of a 2022 congressional map for the November election. Hoskins had said just before the 2 p.m. hearing Thursday that he would not use a new, Republican-friendly congressional map after a U.S. Supreme Court order. Hoskins issued a statement about an hour before he was due to appear back before the Missouri Supreme Court for a contempt proceeding after he had earlier this week pledged to use the new map following a federal court order. "Following the United States Supreme Court’s stay, the only governing court order in effect is from the Missouri Supreme Court. In accordance with that order, my Office is directing local election authorities to use the 2022 congressional map," Hoskins said.
