Supreme Court Blocks Federal Order in Missouri Map Dispute

The latest intervention apparently restores Missouri’s 2022 congressional map for the 2026 general election, even though the August primary used newer districts, and rebukes lower-court handling of the stay. Ballot administration, possible reissuance, referendum treatment, contempt, standing, and later challenges remain unsettled. Louisiana v. Callais adds broader concern that Section 2 protections and Black representation may face new obstacles.
