Reversal: Missouri Supreme Court blocks Trump-backed map
The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously blocked a Trump-backed congressional map from being used in November and ordered that it be put to a statewide vote. The new lines cannot take effect unless voters approve them.
The ruling restores Missouri’s previous congressional districts for now. Voters will decide whether to uphold or reject the new map in the referendum.
The map had redrawn a Kansas City based Democratic seat to give Republicans a better chance, and GOP leaders had hoped to gain an additional seat. The state’s attorney general plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
