8th Circuit orders Missouri to use 2025 GOP map for 2026 elections
TL;DR Summary
A federal appeals court in St. Louis directed Missouri to implement the 2025 congressional map for the 2026 midterms, overriding the state’s plan to use the 2022 map amid a GOP-led redistricting fight aimed at eliminating a Democratic seat. The unsigned ruling asserts the 2022 map violates the Constitution and federal law, but its effect is uncertain and unlikely to be immediate, given ballots have already been printed and prior Supreme Court actions had paused similar moves.
