BREAKING: Supreme Court BLOCKS Missouri From Using GOP-Favored Congressional Map Ahead of Midterms

The US Supreme Court has blocked Missouri from implementing its new, GOP-favored congressional map, preventing a lower court’s order from taking effect. This decision comes as voting for the upcoming midterms has already commenced, with ballots printed and absentee voting underway. The Supreme Court cited concerns about electoral chaos, referencing previous rulings that prevent map changes mid-election.

• The US Supreme Court blocked Missouri from using a new, GOP-favored congressional map.
• A lower federal appeals court had previously ordered Missouri to reinstate the GOP map, deeming the current plan to use the old map unconstitutional.
• The Supreme Court’s decision cited the ongoing election process, with ballots printed and absentee voting started, making a map change impractical and chaotic.
• The high court referenced its previous concerns about altering congressional maps after voting has begun, citing the Purcell principle.
• The decision prevents the new map, which would reduce Democratic representation, from taking effect for the upcoming midterms.
