U.S. Supreme Court Blocks Missouri Republicans' Bid for New Congressional Map
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an emergency appeal from Missouri Republicans seeking to use a new congressional map, upholding a state supreme court ruling that found the map to be an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander. This decision mandates the use of Missouri's previous congressional district boundaries for the upcoming elections, marking a significant setback for GOP efforts to eliminate a Democratic-held seat.
