The U.S. Supreme Court on September 25 stayed lower court orders that would have required Missouri to use a 2025 congressional map in the 2026 election.
The Court’s per curiam order said the 2022 map must be used because the election has already started.
Absentee voting has begun, as has military and overseas voting.
Ballots using the 2022 map have been printed and mailed.
Local election officials in Missouri said it is practically impossible to revert to the 2025 map.
The Court said the traditional factors for a stay and the principle from Purcell v. Gonzalez dictate the result.
The Court said its conclusion that the Eighth Circuit erred should come as no surprise, given the Court’s two prior orders.
On September 10, the full Court stayed a district court injunction requiring use of the 2025 map.
