SCOTUS Rejects Missouri GOP Bid to Use Revised Congressional Map for Midterm Elections

The US Supreme Court rejected an emergency appeal from Missouri Republicans seeking to use a revised congressional map for the upcoming midterm elections, leaving in place a lower court ruling that blocked the state's revised Republican-backed congressiona plan. The decision was made without comment by Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The Missouri Supreme Court had previously ruled that the new map infringed on voting rights and must be used instead.
