Supreme Court blocks Missouri's GOP-favoring House map for second time

Source Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court issued an unsigned decision rejecting Missouri's new House district map that favored Republicans. The Court stated that ordering Missouri to restore its 2025 map would create "electoral chaos." This marks the second time the Court has blocked the state's redistricting effort.

Why it matters

The decision prevents a state from implementing electoral maps that the Supreme Court determined would alter the balance of House representation in violation of constitutional or statutory requirements.
