Missouri Maps Stuck in Legal Limbo | Kansas City News

Missouri’s congressional map chaos continues as the U.S. Supreme Court shuts down a new GOP-drawn map for the second time, locking in the 2022 maps for now. After citizens rallied with 300K+ signatures to challenge gerrymandering, the state Supreme Court ruled the map needs voter approval — a major blow to Republican lawmakers. The case heads to the 8th Circuit next week, but legal experts say it’s too late to change anything before the election, thanks to the Supreme Court’s avoidance of last-minute election meddling. A federal judge’s earlier order to use the new map was also overruled, cementing the status quo for voters heading to the polls.
