Did Missouri’s Supreme Court block a Trump-backed U.S. House map for November 2026?

Yes. On September 3, 2026, the Missouri Supreme Court unanimously blocked new congressional districts backed by President Donald Trump from being used in the November 2026 general election and ordered a statewide referendum on whether to uphold or reject the map.

The court ruled that a referendum petition with more than 300,000 signatures put the new districts on hold, so the congressional map adopted after the 2020 census remains in effect for November unless voters approve the revised map. Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway said she would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
