US Supreme Court Blocks Missouri Congressional Map, Orders 2022 Districts
The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked Missouri's proposed congressional voting map for a second time, likely on racial gerrymandering grounds, and ordered the state to use its 2022 district boundaries for upcoming elections. This decision is a setback for the Republican Party, as the rejected map was perceived as advantageous to the GOP. The timeline for Missouri to redraw districts and the final map remain uncertain.
