Supreme Court shuts down legal mess over Missouri’s congressional map
The Supreme Court blocked an appeals court decision that had reinstated a GOP-favored congressional map in Missouri. This decision allows the 2022 map, which gives Republicans a 6-2 advantage, to be used for the upcoming November election, likely preventing any potential House seat gains for Democrats or Republicans based on the newer map. The Court’s ruling affirms that the older, 2022 map will remain in place for the election, overriding the appeals court’s earlier order to use a 2025 map wiht a 7-1 Republican advantage.
The Supreme Court halted an appeals court’s ruling reinstating a GOP-friendly congressional map in Missouri, clearing the way for the map from the 2022 and 2024 elections to be used for the November election and likely preventing any House pickups for the Republican Party in the state.
The high court affirmed that the Missouri congressional map passed in 2022, which gives Republicans a 6-2 advantage over Democrats, should be used for the November election in a per curiam ruling. A federal appeals court had ordered a map passed in 2025, which gave the GOP a 7-1 advantage over Democrats, to be used for the midterm elections, but the Supreme Court’s ruling reversed the appeals court’s order, keeping the 2022 map in place for the election in less than five weeks.
