  "account": "The Supreme Court has once again halted Missouri's new congressional map designed to give the Republican Party an advantage in the upcoming 2026 general election. The high court ruled that the election is already underway, making it impractical to revert to the 2025 map. This decision comes after the court blocked the map twice previously. Missouri had been preparing to use the 2022 map for the general election, but a group called People Not Politicians argued that using this map violates the Constitution and federal law. Despite this, Missouri officials maintain that using the 2022 map would prevent disenfranchising voters and would be the better choice for the public interest.",
  "summary": "The Supreme Court said in an unsigned decision that ordering Missouri to restore its 2025 map \"would usher in electoral chaos.\"",
