Congressman Cleaver Stays Winning: SCOTUS Rejects MAGA Map

It's official . . .

SO MUCH MISSOURI REDISTRICTING DRAMA WAS WASTED & CONSTITUTIONALLY SKETCHY EFFORT!!!

Per ushe . . .

The politics of the midterm power move garnered a great deal of attention, hurt feelings, ruined reputations and heartache but in the end NOTHING HAPPENED . . . Which is what a lot of our blog community denizens predicted in the first place earlier this year.

"The Supreme Court on Friday turned away an attempt to use a new Missouri congressional map backed by President Donald Trump, potentially putting an end to a long-running legal dispute as absentee voting is underway in the midterm elections.

"The justices halted a federal appeals court ruling that would have revived the Republican-friendly map for the November elections, which will determine control of Congress.

"The Supreme Court instead let stand a decision by the Missouri Supreme Court, which ruled earlier this month that a citizen petition prevents the new map from being used unless first approved by voters in a November referendum. The decision means Missouri residents will vote under the same congressional districts used in the 2024 and 2022 elections."
