Kavanaugh Lets Missouri Map Battle Hang in Balance | Salt Lake City News

Justice Kavanaugh’s emergency intervention in Missouri’s congressional redistricting battle has paused a controversial seven-to-one Republican map, keeping the old six-to-two plan in place for November’s midterms. The state’s highest court had blocked the new map for violating the state constitution, and while a federal judge argued a last-minute change would cause chaos, Kavanaugh sided with upholding the ruling — giving voters a potential referendum on the gerrymander. With election day fast approaching, Missouri officials say stability is key, but advocates see this as a crucial win for democratic accountability.
