Did the US Supreme Court bar Missouri from using a Republican-drawn congressional map for a third time on September 25, 2026?

Yes. On September 25, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an unsigned stay in People Not Politicians v. Onder (No. 26A388) that, for a third time this month, blocked lower-court orders requiring Missouri to use its 2025 Republican-drawn U.S. House map in the November midterms.

The justices left the 2022 map in place for the ongoing election, writing that reverting to the 2025 map mid-election “would usher in electoral chaos,” with no noted dissents. Source: U.S. Supreme Court order (26A388) (see also PBS News / AP).
