In this ZeroHedge article, Matthew Vadum reports that Missouri’s Supreme Court has rejected another legal challenge to the state’s new congressional map, clearing the way for a redistricting plan expected to benefit Republicans.
- The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously rejected a constitutional challenge to the congressional redistricting plan approved by the state Legislature last year.
- The new map, called the “Missouri First Map” by supporters, is expected to help Republicans gain one U.S. House seat.
- Missouri’s current congressional delegation consists of six Republicans and two Democrats.
- The lawsuit was brought by the Missouri NAACP, which argued that Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe lacked authority to call the extraordinary legislative session where the map was approved.
- The court disagreed, ruling that Missouri’s Constitution gives the governor discretion to determine when an extraordinary session is necessary.
- The ruling affirmed a lower court decision that had dismissed the NAACP’s lawsuit.
- The state Supreme Court had already upheld Missouri’s 2025 redistricting plan in a separate case on May 12.
- The court emphasized that congressional mapmaking is a political process best handled by elected representatives, not judges.
- The article frames the decision as part of a broader national redistricting fight following President Trump’s push for Republican-controlled states to act before the 2026 midterms.
