All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
A federal appeals court sided with Republicans seeking to use district boundaries redrawn last year to give the G.O.P. an advantage in the upcoming midterms. The Supreme Court has twice cleared a path for Missouri to hold its general election under an older map that would likely help Democrats retain both of their congressional seats in the state.
A federal appellate panel sided with Missouri Republicans on using a redrawn congressional map, but a Supreme Court decision means the older map will likely be used for now, creating confusion and potential post-election lawsuits.
