Missouri Supreme Court Blocks GOP's New Map Before November Vote
The order came from the full Missouri Supreme Court sitting en banc, the state's highest possible authority on the map.
- Von Glahn v. Hoskins, No. SC101805, was decided at the Missouri Supreme Court on Sept. 3.
- The Republican-drawn congressional map cannot be used to run the November 2026 midterm elections.
- Denny Hoskins, Missouri's secretary of state and chief elections officer, is the named defendant.
Why it matters: Whoever draws the congressional map decides most of the election before a single vote is cast.
