US Supreme Court upholds Missouri ruling blocking GOP-favored redistricting before midterms

The US Supreme Court declined to intervene, upholding the Missouri Supreme Court's decision that the state's new voting map cannot take effect before the November midterm elections. The map, which favored Republican candidates, was struck down by state courts; the federal ruling confirms the status quo for the upcoming election. This is a notable judicial check on partisan redistricting, though its broader political impact is limited to Missouri.
