Missouri Democratic Party Celebrates State Supreme Court Defeat of Attacks on Rights of All Missourians

Missouri Democratic Party Chair Russ Carnahan has issued the following statement following the unanimous rulings from the Missouri Supreme Court siding with Missourians over Secretary of State Denny Hoskins:

“Today is a clear and historic victory for the rights of all Missourians — Republicans, Democrats, and independents — and a clear rebuke of attacks on our rights as citizens by Republican politicians.

“Back when Hoskins’ launched his desperate and partisan attempt to avoid the will of Missourians, we said that, after a brief court battle, Missourians would get to vote and we were absolutely right. It’s just unfortunate that so much taxpayer money had to be wasted by Secretary Hoskins along the way.”
