Supreme Court asked to reinstate earlier Missouri district map for November vote
A petition filed by People Not Politicians urges the Supreme Court to block a lower-court order that would require using the 2025 congressional map in Missouri’s upcoming election.
People Not Politicians, the group that succeeded in placing a 2025 Missouri congressional map on the ballot, has submitted an emergency petition to the Supreme Court. The filing seeks to halt a district court ruling that mandates the use of that map for the November election, arguing it would likely give Republicans an additional House seat. The request asks the high court to restore the prior map instead.
Why it matters
The decision could shape Missouri’s representation in the House and affect the balance of power in Congress.
