U.S. Supreme Court Bars Missouri from Using Republican-Drawn Congressional Map

The U.S. Supreme Court, for the third time, intervened in the dispute over Missouri's congressional districts, barring the state from using a redrawn map designed to favor Republicans in the upcoming November elections. The justices granted a request by challengers to suspend lower court decisions that had required the reconfigured district boundaries to be used, citing that reinstating the map "in the midst of an ongoing election would usher in electoral chaos."
