The court said a map redrawn to benefit Republicans could not be used in November and said voters should decide on the new boundaries. The state attorney general vowed to appeal the decision.

The Missouri Supreme Court cleared the way on Thursday for the state’s voters to decide in November whether to keep new congressional district boundaries redrawn to benefit Republicans.

The judges ruled unanimously that the old map would be used in the November general election, a decision that at least temporarily thwarts Republicans’ efforts to pick up a House seat in the Kansas City area.

    Nah. This is a win. Anytime fascism gets shut down is a win. It’s sad that this is the the current political environment, but it would have been a loss had the courts decided the other direction. Since they didn’t, this is a win.
