A Missouri judge has sided with Republicans, approving the use of newly drawn congressional districts — designed to favor GOP candidates — for the November elections, shutting down a push to put the map to a statewide vote. The ruling, based on Missouri’s constitution not explicitly permitting referendums on redistricting, comes after these maps were already used in August primaries. Sparked by President Trump’s call for Republican states to reshape boundaries, the decision bolsters GOP hopes to hold onto their slim House majority. While voters can’t challenge the maps via referendum under current law, legal appeals are expected — and this isn’t the first time Missouri has faced such a battle, with a similar referendum failing over a century ago. This move is part of a wider Republican strategy across multiple states to gain seats, though midterm trends suggest it may be a tough road ahead.
