Trump administration asks Supreme Court to allow use of citizenship database
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to intervene in a lawsuit over the use of a controversial data system to review state voter rolls.
The US Supreme Court has denied Missouri's emergency appeal to utilize a congressional map endorsed by Donald Trump for the upcoming midterm elections, upholding a lower court's ruling that blocked the new districts from taking effect. The Missouri Supreme Court mandated the map be submitted to voters for approval or rejection, preventing its implementation in the November election.
President Trump and Republicans vehemently opposed the decision, with the president labeling it "horrible, ridiculous, and unConstitutional". Attorney General Catherine Hanaway had immediately announced plans to appeal to the Supreme Court. The decision represents a rare defeat for the president and Republicans, who initiated a nationwide redistricting dispute last year.
