Missouri's Map in Supreme Court | St. Louis News

Missouri’s congressional map is now a national flashpoint, with the U.S. Supreme Court poised to decide whether voters will head to the polls under the old or new lines—just days before ballots must be finalized. After Missouri’s highest court rejected the new map, the state’s attorney general is urging the Supreme Court to intervene, backed by 20 Republican-led states who argue that over a million voters have already cast ballots under the current plan and changing it now would cause chaos and violate federal law. But opponents—including the group People Not Politicians—say the new map never legally took effect because voters exercised their referendum rights and the Secretary of State knew this challenge was coming. The fight has fractured candidates: some like Reps. Alford and Brattin want the Supreme Court to step in, while others like Rep. Cleaver and candidate Herrera insist the Missouri Supreme Court’s ruling should stand. With Election Day just weeks away, the Court’s decision could reshape Missouri’s most competitive races—and its political future.
