What happened

The Supreme Court blocked Missouri from using a newly drawn Republican-backed congressional map in the November elections, leaving the state on track to use its 2022 House districts. The unsigned emergency order, with no noted dissents, paused a federal judge’s ruling that had required Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to use the newer lines. The rejected map could have shifted GOP prospects from six to seven winnable U.S. House seats; Missouri’s state Supreme Court had ruled it could not take effect before a voter referendum.
