Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court to block a state Supreme Court ruling concerning the state’s congressional maps. The state Supreme Court had ordered that the 2025 maps, which were designed to potentially increase Republican control, could not be used in the upcoming November midterm elections, requiring the state to revert to its 2022 district lines instead.

Hanaway argued that the decision constitutes a “constitutional crisis” and a “federal-election-administration disaster,” claiming that changing boundaries after the August primaries could disenfranchise voters. She is seeking an emergency stay to allow the implementation of the new maps for the general election.
