The Aporia · Trump-backed Missouri congressional map returns to the Supreme Court for the third time

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to consider Missouri’s congressional map for a third time following an appeals court decision that revived a new districting plan supported by President Donald Trump. This map aims to assist Republicans in gaining an additional House seat during the upcoming midterm elections, which will be crucial for determining party control of Congress. Previously, the Supreme Court had twice halted attempts to implement this map before November’s elections.

Story summary

A federal appeals court in Missouri ordered on September 18 that the state must use newly drawn Republican-backed congressional districts for November’s midterm elections, despite previous rulings by both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Missouri Supreme Court blocking their implementation. The new map, favored by former President Donald Trump, aims to benefit Republicans by altering district boundaries and splitting existing ones. This decision follows a long-standing legal battle over redistricting in Missouri, which has seen multiple conflicting court orders affecting voter registration and ballots already printed using the old 2022 map. As a result, the case is likely headed back to the U.S. Supreme Court for a final ruling before November's elections.
