Federal Courts Block Missouri Congressional Map and Challenge Trump's Mail-in Voting Rules Ahead of Midterms

The Supreme Court has blocked Missouri from implementing a Republican-drawn congressional map for the upcoming midterm elections. Concurrently, an appeals court has declined to lift a federal judge's injunction that prevents the U.S. Postal Service from enforcing new mail-in voting requirements directed by the Trump administration. Republican secretaries of state have appealed the mail-in voting issue to the Supreme Court, and Travis County, Texas, has also joined a federal lawsuit challenging these new rules, indicating significant federal judicial intervention in election administration.
