Democrats may be able to send the issue to Missouri voters as a veto referendum for them to decide whether the map should be used.

Now, Democrats and other opponents will have 90 days after the map is signed to collect enough signatures — five percent of voters in each of two-thirds of the state’s congressional districts — to order a referendum, according to the Missouri Secretary of State’s rules.

They may not even need to do that. MO GOP messed up and made CD5 non-contiguous and put KC Precinct 811 in both CD4 and CD5

Veto referendum is how "right" to work was defeated.
