The Supreme Court has rejected a request from Missouri Republicans to implement a new congressional map. The high court's decision prevents the state from using the proposed redistricting plan.
The rejected map was designed by Republicans and was anticipated to create an additional seat favoring the Republican party in Missouri. Opponents of the map had urged the Supreme Court to uphold a lower court ruling that blocked its use.
The Supreme Court's action leaves the prior ruling in place, preventing the use of the map that was expected to benefit Republicans. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
