Washington \u2014The Supreme Court on Friday again blocked Missouri from using aredrawn mapthat aims to give Republicans an additional seat in the House for themidterm elections.<\/p>\n
The high court’s decision clears the way for the state to use House district lines approved in 2022 for the Nov. 3 general election. Ballots using that older map have been printed and mailed to Missouri voters in the state, as well as those in the military and overseas, and absentee voting, by mail and in person, began earlier this week.<\/p>\n
In anunsigned opinionwith no noted dissents, the Supreme Court said “the election is not merely upcoming; it has already started,” and added that “at this late date, ordering reversion to the 2025 map in the midst of an ongoing election would usher in electoral chaos.”<\/p>\n
The lower courts, the Supreme Court said, “should not enjoin or otherwise prohibit the use of the 2022 map in the 2026 congressional election in Missouri. And the District Court and Court of Appeals should not order or otherwise require Missouri to use the 2025 map in the 2026 congressional election in Missouri.”<\/p>\n
The legal battle over Missouri’s congressional maplanded before the Supreme Courtfor a third time late Tuesday after a federal appeals court ordered the state to put back in place the House district lines that were reconfigured and adopted by the GOP-led state legislature last year. That 2025 map, which is backed by President Trump, gives Republicans an edge in seven of its eight House districts. The state’s current congressional delegation is divided between six Republicans and two Democrats.<\/p>\n
But the Supreme Court had already twice blocked Missouri from using that new plan for the Nov. 3 general election, which will determine which party controls the House.<\/p>\n
First, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, acting alone, left in place a Missouri Supreme Court decision thatbarred the statefrom using the new House lines for the upcoming election.<\/p>\n
But shortly after Kavanaugh’s order, another emergency appeal involving Missouri’s congressional map landed back before the Supreme Court, this time arising out of a federal district court decision thatrequired the stateto use the new voting boundaries for the Nov. 3 election. The Supreme Court, however,halted that district court decision, clearing the way for Missouri to use the 2022 map for House districts.<\/p>\n
