US Supreme Court won't reinstate Republican-drawn congressional map in Missouri
The ruling leaves Missouri on its 2022 districts after officials said switching maps would disrupt the November election and affect hundreds of thousands of voters.
- On Tuesday, The Supreme Court rejected Missouri's emergency request to use a Republican-drawn congressional map for the November election, dealing a setback to President Donald Trump and Republicans seeking to hold their slim House majority.
- Last Thursday, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled the 2025 map cannot take effect until approved by voters, as Judge Ginger Gooch wrote, "The referendum petition was legal, sufficient, and timely." This unanimous decision upheld the challenge against the Republican-drawn districts.
- This decision preserves the Kansas City-based seat of Democratic Representative Emanuel Cleaver, which would have been dismantled under the redrawn boundaries. Missouri Secretary Denny Hoskins had argued that reverting to the older map would create significant logistical problems.
- President Donald Trump had championed the new map as part of a nationwide redistricting effort to improve Republican prospects; this ruling marks a rare setback for the party holding a slim 219-214 House majority.
- The Supreme Court also placed Amendment 6 on the November ballot, a measure aimed at strengthening Missouri's initiative and referendum process by limiting lawmakers' ability to change voter-approved measures.
