Supreme Court Blocks Republican-Favored Missouri Congressional Map for November Elections

The U.S. Supreme Court has, for a third time, barred Missouri from implementing a redrawn congressional map that was designed to favor Republicans in the upcoming November midterm elections. The justices granted a request by challengers, including 'People Not Politicians,' to suspend lower court decisions that would have required the reconfigured U.S. House of Representatives district boundaries to be used. The ruling aims to prevent 'electoral chaos' given that absentee voting is already underway in Missouri, definitively confirming that the 2026 election must proceed under the lawful 2022 map.
