“Supreme Court Once Again Blocks Republican-Backed Voting Map in Missouri; A federal appeals court had sided with Republicans seeking to use redrawn congressional district boundaries to give their party an advantage in the midterms elections”: Ann E. Marimow and Mitch Smith of The New York Times have this report.

Justin Jouvenal of The Washington Post reports that “Supreme Court blocks Missouri congressional map favoring GOP for third time; The ruling ends a complicated legal fight that has injected uncertainty into November’s midterm elections in the state.”

James Romoser of The Wall Street Journal has an article headlined “How Missouri’s Republican Gerrymander Struck Out at the Supreme Court; Three times in a row, the high court rebuffed a long-shot redistricting effort.”

Josh Gerstein and Aaron Pellish of Politico report that “Supreme Court again snubs GOP gerrymander in Missouri; Justices also warned federal courts not to interfere with state decisions.”

And Kelsey Reichmann of Courthouse News Service reports that “Supreme Court shuts down Missouri GOP-gerrymandered map for third time; Despite two Supreme Court rulings to the contrary, a lower court allowed Missouri Republicans to use a gerrymandered map for the November election.”
