Missouri Supreme Court rules new GOP-drawn map can’t be used for November election

The Missouri Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that a new congressional map drawn by Republicans cannot be utilized for the upcoming November midterm elections. This decision serves as a rebuke to the GOP redistricting bid, effectively blocking the implementation of the contested maps. Consequently, the court's ruling ensures that voters will not be subject to these specific gerrymandered boundaries during the current election cycle, allowing for further input regarding the state's congressional redistricting process.
