Claim Details

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 court filing reveals the Trump administration's plan to use State Department passport data to verify voter eligibility, as part of its ongoing effort to identify noncitizen voters. This move is seen as a continuation of anti-voting measures that could intimidate certain communities.

The Supreme Court has again blocked Missouri from using a Republican-backed congressional map, marking the third intervention this month. The decision requires the state to use an older map, impacting the upcoming midterm elections where control of Congress is at stake.

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.
