The judge turns down the NAACP’s ask to put the new Missouri Congressional map on hold. Cole County Judge Chris Limbaugh rejected the civil rights group’s request for a temporary restraining order. The NAACP is concerned that the redrawn map will give the seat held by Fifth District Democrat Emmanuel Cleaver to a GOP lawmaker.
