Supreme Court blocks Missouri’s attempt to use newly drawn Republican congressional map

The Supreme Court has halted Missouri's effort to implement a redrawn congressional map that would have handed Republicans a decisive advantage, delivering an unexpected blow to GOP efforts to solidify control of the House before the 2024 elections. The decision, issued without full briefing or argument, suggests the court's conservative majority may be retreating from its aggressive gerrymandering stance—or signaling deep divisions over how far states can push partisan line-drawing. With redistricting battles intensifying across the country, the ruling could reshape which party controls crucial swing districts when voters head to the polls.
