Judge upholds GOP-friendly Missouri congressional map
A Missouri judge upheld a GOP-friendly congressional map for the upcoming midterms, rejecting a legal challenge from voting rights groups including the Campaign Legal Center and ACLU. The plaintiffs had argued the mid-decade redistricting was unlawful, but the court allowed the map to remain in place for the 2022 elections.
Key Points
- Missouri's new congressional map favors Republican candidates and will be used in the midterm elections
- Voting rights organizations challenged the redistricting as unlawful but lost their court case
- The ruling allows mid-decade redistricting to proceed despite legal opposition
