Supreme Court rejects Missouri’s request to use congressional map with extra GOP seat
Missouri's state Supreme Court had blocked a new congressional map. Missouri then asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate it in time for the November midterm elections, arguing the map should be used. On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Missouri's request, meaning the blocked map cannot be used for the midterms.
