WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Circuit Court of Cole County rejected Democrats' latest redistricting scheme, handing a major victory to the Republican National Committee (RNC), National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), and Missouri Republican Party (MOGOP) by shutting down yet another left-wing attempt to overturn Missouri's fair congressional map.
"This is a resounding victory for Missouri voters and election integrity," said RNC Chairman Joe Gruters. "The court rejected Democrats' latest scheme to overturn lawful congressional maps and create chaos ahead of the election. Missouri's maps were fairly enacted by the legislature, upheld in court, and used in this year's primary election. Today's ruling makes clear those maps will stand."
Background:
This proposal was the latest Democrat scheme to dismantle Missouri's current congressional maps, which were passed by the legislature and signed into law in 2025.
Democrats and their activist allies have spent years waging a campaign to overturn Missouri's fair congressional maps through lawsuits, ballot initiatives, and political campaigns after repeatedly failing to get their way.
The RNC and NRCC previously intervened to defend Missouri's congressional maps from Democrats' legal attacks.
Democrats and national activist groups have already spent more than $6 million trying to overturn Missouri's maps in court, and lost.
The RNC also helped fund the successful legal effort that defended the maps against challenges to both their implementation and constitutionality.
