NewzMissouri state officials filed an emergency request with the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday, seeking to reinstate a Republican-leaning congressional map that had been invalidated by a lower court. Attorney General Catherine Hanaway’s office argued that the current legal uncertainty is creating a federal election administration disaster, warning that the lack of a finalized map has caused unprecedented chaos for the upcoming midterm elections.
The proposed map, which officials are fighting to restore, would add one additional seat for the Republican Party. The state's legal filing emphasizes that immediate intervention from the Supreme Court is necessary to resolve the administrative disruption and provide clarity for the electoral process.
