Missouri court blocks Trump-backed U.S. House map, orders it to be put to vote
Missouri's Supreme Court has blocked the new congressional map backed by President Trump from the November 2026 election. A statewide vote will decide if the map stays. Opponents had collected over 300,000 signatures, so the court says the law never took effect. The earlier 2020 map remains in force. Republicans plan an urgent appeal to the US Supreme Court.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously ruled the new congressional districts cannot be used in the November general election.
- Opponents submitted more than 300,000 petition signatures in December, which put the map on hold.
- The state's top court says the map adopted after the 2020 census remains in effect unless voters approve the new one.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Watch whether the US Supreme Court accepts the appeal, as the final map for the November election may change again before voting day.
