Missouri and Maryland Redistricting Rulings | Spokane News

Missouri’s Supreme Court just struck down a Republican-drawn congressional map, forcing the state to use the old one for November’s elections — a major win for Democrats who called it gerrymandered. Meanwhile, Maryland’s high court greenlit a voter-approved amendment that would let Democrats redraw district lines in 2028, even as it demanded wording tweaks. These rulings come amid a nationwide surge of partisan redistricting fueled by a weakened Voting Rights Act, with Republicans hoping to gain seats and Democrats pushing back to protect fair representation. In Missouri, GOP leaders are already eyeing federal appeals, while in Maryland, voters could soon decide the future of redistricting — potentially locking in Democratic control.
