More on Missouri’s Congressional Map and Mail-in Voting
The ruling keeps Missouri voters under the 2022 and 2024 districts after a Republican effort to add a House seat sparked lawsuits.
- The U.S. Supreme Court's order on Sep 10, 2026, effectively blocked Missouri's new congressional map, ensuring the state uses its previous district boundaries for the November election.
- Attempting to increase their chances of gaining an additional seat, the Republican-controlled Legislature targeted the 5th District held by Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver.
- President Donald Trump condemned the ruling on Truth Social. It was "horrible, ridiculous, and unConstitutional," he said, adding that it would disrupt the voting process.
- During an interview with Peter Alexander, Cleaver welcomed the court's decision. "They brought this on themselves," the former mayor of Kansas City said.
- Whether Missouri's new map takes effect remains a question, as voters will decide the issue on the November ballot where control of the House hangs in the balance.
