US Supreme Court again blocks Republican-favoring Missouri congressional map

The US Supreme Court has once again rejected a Trump-backed push to redraw Missouri's congressional districts in a way that would have benefited Republicans in November's midterm elections. The ruling suggests the state's old electoral maps will likely be used this year.

The US Supreme Court has again halted an effort to redraw Missouri's congressional district boundaries in a manner that would have given Republicans an advantage in the November 3 midterm elections. The push had been backed by President Donald Trump.

The court's latest ruling comes after several days of confusion, during which conflicting decisions had been issued over which electoral maps would apply this year.

The justices granted a request from challengers of the new maps to suspend a ruling by a US federal judge that had allowed only the reconfigured district boundaries to be used in the November elections. As a result, Missouri appears set to use its previous, older congressional maps for this year's vote.

Further details on the case are expected to follow.
