US Supreme Court again blocks Missouri GOP-backed voting map
–
Neutral summary
The US Supreme Court has for the second time this week rejected Missouri's bid to use a new congressional map drawn by Republicans and backed by President Donald Trump in the November midterm elections. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who handles emergency appeals from the circuit, refused to lift the state Supreme Court's injunction, which said voters must first approve the new district lines in a statewide referendum. The federal high court's order came after a federal judge had temporarily allowed the map, prompting the state's top court to press officials on how they will revert to the 2022 map, which gives Republicans a 6-2 advantage rather than the GOP-preferred 7-1 split. The decision also loomed over a contempt hearing for Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, who had directed local officials to proceed with the new design despite the state court's ban.
