Supreme Court Blocks Missouri From Using Republican-Drawn Congressional Map
The Supreme Court has declined to allow Missouri to use a new congressional map drawn by Republicans, leaving the state's existing district lines in place for the coming midterm elections.
Key Facts
- —The Supreme Court declined to allow Missouri to use a new Republican-drawn congressional map.
- —The state's existing district lines will remain in place for the coming midterm elections.
- —Supporters, including President Donald Trump, had backed the map as a way to add a Republican U.S. House seat.
- —The Court did not issue a full opinion, and further lower-court proceedings remain possible.
The Supreme Court has again declined to allow Missouri to use a new congressional map drawn by Republicans, leaving the state's existing district lines in place for the coming midterm elections.
Supporters of the map, including President Donald Trump, had backed it as a way to add a Republican seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The justices' action means the districts Missouri voters have used will remain in effect while legal challenges continue. For Republicans in the state, the decision closes off, at least for now, a path they had hoped would yield a new seat. For those who opposed the map, it preserves the status quo.
The Supreme Court did not issue a full opinion resolving the underlying legal questions, and further proceedings in the lower courts remain possible. For the upcoming election, however, the practical effect is clear: Missouri's current congressional map stands.
