Missouri Supreme Court rules in favor of Republican-led mid-decade congressional redistricting
The Missouri Supreme Court ruled 4-3 in favor of allowing the Republican-controlled legislature's mid-decade redistricting of congressional maps. The court rejected a challenge from four Missouri voters who argued the state constitution prohibited redistricting outside the once-per-decade requirement. The new GOP-favored map was signed into law by Governor Mike Kehoe in September and makes it more likely for Republicans to gain additional House seats.
