Supreme Court blocks Missouri GOP's favored congressional map for November election
Source Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday blocked Missouri Republicans from using their preferred 7-1 congressional map in the November election, requiring the state to revert to an earlier design. The ruling represents a setback for the GOP in the state's ongoing redistricting dispute. Officials must now use the old map for the upcoming election.
Why it matters
The ruling prevents the GOP from implementing a map that would have given them a significant electoral advantage in Missouri's House delegation.
