Missouri Court Blocks Trump-Backed US House Map

The Missouri Supreme Court has unanimously blocked the use of new congressional districts supported by former President Donald Trump in the upcoming November election.

Instead of allowing the map to be used, the court has ordered a statewide vote to decide whether voters approve or reject the proposed district boundaries.

This ruling represents an unusual defeat for Republicans in the ongoing national battle over redistricting.

The decision highlights the legal challenges surrounding the drawing of electoral districts and the political stakes involved.
