What We Know: The U.S. Supreme Court says Missouri must use its 2022 congressional map for the November election.
What It Means: In a unanimous decision Friday, the justices blocked the newer map approved by state lawmakers last year. The court says state law requires the 2022 districts to remain in place for this election.
The ruling ends weeks of back-and-forth court decisions over which map should be used.
What’s Next: Absentee voting is already underway in Missouri, and election officials can now continue preparing ballots using the 2022 congressional districts.
