St. Louis, MO, September 25, 2026 —
The United States Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal, thereby upholding Missouri’s 2022 congressional map for the upcoming November general elections. This judicial action means the map that was passed last year will remain in effect, superseding a different map that had been intended for the general election.
The rejected appeal sought to challenge the implementation of the 2022 map. Consequently, the map that was utilized for the August primary elections will now also govern the contests in November.
The situation stems from the passage of a Republican-friendly congressional map last year. While this map was employed for the August primary contests, the Supreme Court’s decision ensures its continued use for the broader general election. The specific details of the appeal, including the parties involved and the grounds for the challenge, were not provided in the available information. Similarly, the timeline for the appeal process or the specific reasons cited by the Supreme Court for its rejection were not detailed.
This ruling effectively prevents a potential shift in electoral districts that might have occurred had the appeal been successful and a different map implemented for the general election. The outcome solidifies the electoral landscape defined by the 2022 map for the critical November contests.
