US Supreme Court won't reinstate Republican-drawn congressional map in Missouri
Justice Brett Kavanaugh left Missouri’s 2022 congressional map in place after rejecting an emergency appeal from state officials.
- On Friday, Missouri officials asked the U.S. Supreme Court to restore the 2025 congressional map, warning that reverting to 2022 districts after the primary election would create administrative chaos and disrupt military and overseas ballot deadlines.
- The Missouri Supreme Court ruled last Thursday that the 2025 map "is not the law and never has been the law," ordering Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to certify a referendum petition and place the measure on the November ballot.
- Secretary of State Denny Hoskins initially denied the petition on August 4, but opponents argued he "manufactured the timing" by delaying his decision for eight months until the primary election, creating the current legal emergency.
- Attorneys for Richard von Glahn urged the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to reject the request, arguing that state officials created the timing problem they now cite as a basis for emergency intervention.
- Republican attorneys general from 18 states filed a brief supporting Missouri as the Tuesday deadline to finalize November ballots approaches, with control of the U.S. House potentially at stake.

Republicans suffered a stunning Supreme Court loss. It lasted minutes.
For several minutes on Tuesday evening, Democrats thought they’d actually scored an important legal victory — and in an election case to boot! But then a single Trump-appointed judge cast a cloud of doubt over that victory, and potentially threw Missouri’s upcoming congressional elections into chaos. Last Thursday, the Missouri Supreme Court effectively halted a […]
