Redrawing the Lines of Power in Missouri The Missouri supreme court has blocked new congressional maps backed by Donald Trump from being used in the November election, marking a rare instance where Republican efforts to gerrymander districts have been thwarted.
The ruling affects not only the midterm elections but also has far reaching implications for future redistricting in Missouri and beyond.
The decision was based on the state constitution, which allows voters to put congressional redistricting laws passed by the legislature up for a referendum.
