Supreme Court Backs Missouri’s Old Map | Wichita News

The U.S. Supreme Court has sided with Missouri’s state court, reinstating the old congressional map with a 6-2 split — a move that halts Republicans’ push for a more favorable 7-1 map. The Court’s silent decision, without explanation or dissent, comes after months of legal chaos as state officials warn that flipping back to the old map now would disrupt primaries, campaigns, and potentially disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters who’ve already cast ballots. This isn’t the first time Missouri’s redistricting battle has hit the courts — just last week, the state’s top court blocked the GOP’s preferred map, citing constitutional requirements for voter approval. Now, with the federal judge’s earlier order overturned, the political tug-of-war over Missouri’s electoral map continues, leaving voters and candidates in limbo.
