Supreme Court Rejects GOP Missouri Map a Third Time Over 'Chaos' Concerns
Supreme Court, for third time this month, rejects bid to restore Trump-backed Missouri congressional map for midterms.
The U.S. Supreme Court has once again blocked Missouri's Republican-led plan to redraw congressional district maps in time for the November midterm elections. This marks the third time this month that the high court has denied the GOP's attempt to achieve an additional House seat. The justices argued that making such a significant change so late in the process would cause "electoral chaos" and ruled that Missouri must stick with the districts established following the 2020 census.
Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe expressed disappointment, stating that voters have been left with different maps for the primary and general elections, which he deemed inconsistent and unfair. Despite the setback, Missouri will proceed with the elections under the same district lines used in the 2022 and 2024 contests.
