JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KY3) - Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe announced he will sign a controversial new congressional map into law on Sunday.

The map creates new districts for Missouri’s representation in the U.S. House and is likely to send one more Republican to the capital. It redraws Missouri’s congressional districts, splitting up Kansas City into three districts.

But it faces several legal challenges, some lawsuits, and a citizen petition. The lawsuits filed against the state of Missouri and the Missouri Secretary of State claim the process of implementing this new map was unconstitutional.
