Supreme Court Rejects Missouri's Attempt to Reinstate Republican-Backed Congressional Map

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to reinstate a Republican-backed congressional map in Missouri, leaving an older map in place for the upcoming November midterm elections. Justice Brett Kavanaugh rejected the state's request without referring the case to the full court or explaining his decision. This ruling is a setback for the Republican Party's efforts to gain an additional House seat in Missouri.
