Supreme Court Blocks Missouri's Gerrymandered Congressional Map Ahead of Midterms

The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked Missouri from implementing a new congressional map that was gerrymandered to favor Republicans in the upcoming November midterm elections. This decision, made with unusual speed, resolves conflicting lower court orders and allows Missouri election officials to use the 2022 congressional map, under which Republicans hold six of the state's eight U.S. House seats.
