A US appeals court has ordered Missouri to use a Republican-drawn congressional map, previously rejected by the Supreme Court.
A U.S. appeals court has ordered Missouri to implement a congressional map favored by former President Donald Trump. This decision revives a redistricting plan that had previously been invalidated by the Supreme Court. The ruling sets the stage for another potential legal battle before the nation's highest court.
The case centers on allegations of partisan gerrymandering, a contentious issue in American politics. The appeals court's intervention reintroduces a map drawn by Republicans, potentially altering the balance of power in Missouri's congressional delegation and reigniting debates over electoral fairness.
