Missouri to Use 2022 Congressional Districts After Supreme Court Rejects New Map

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a Trump-backed congressional map for Missouri, allowing the state to use districts established after the last census for the upcoming November election. This decision follows a prolonged legal battle and means that voters may face different congressional districts than those used in the August primary. Missouri's Secretary of State had previously attempted to implement the new map, leading to legal challenges and confusion regarding the electoral process.
