Missouri seeks Supreme Court green light for GOP-leaning map

Missouri’s attorney general asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow use of a newly drawn congressional map that benefits Republicans in the November election, after the Missouri Supreme Court voided the prior map and said voters should decide on new boundaries. The emergency filing argues blocking the map would disenfranchise hundreds of thousands and create chaos, while opponents say redrawing mid-decade violated the state constitution and should not override the referendum process. The case prompts a rapid response timeline from the high court as it weighs whether the map can be used this year.
