Missouri Supreme Court Upholds GOP-Friendly Congressional Map Ahead of 2026

The Missouri Supreme Court upheld the state's new congressional map, delivering a significant legal victory for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. This ruling effectively blocks lawsuits from two groups of voters who sought to stop the map, solidifying GOP control over the state's legislative landscape. The decision reinforces the trend of state-level courts favoring conservative redistricting plans in the run-up to the next election cycle.
