Supreme Court Upholds Missouri’s Old Map | Jefferson City News

The U.S. Supreme Court has sided with Missouri’s 2022 congressional map, tossing out a controversial new plan backed by former President Trump — leaving voters facing a rare and confusing election where districts may shift between August primaries and November general elections. Nearly one in four Missouri voters could see altered candidate choices. The state’s top court had already ordered the use of the older map, and now the nation’s highest court has upheld that decision without explanation. Meanwhile, legal battles continue as the state Supreme Court presses the Republican Secretary of State to comply, after he defied federal and state rulings to push the new map. A citizen referendum effort to approve the new map was blocked for months, allowing it to be used in August — but now, with the Supreme Court’s final word, Missouri will return to the 2022 boundaries for November’s vote.
