Missouri Voters Will Use a Different Congressional Map Than the Primaries Did

NPR reports that the Supreme Court has blocked the Trump-backed Missouri congressional map. The outlet describes the ruling as a defeat for Republicans seeking to give their party an edge in the midterms for control of the House, and notes the practical consequence: voters will face a different map than the one used in the primaries, meaning the lines that decided the nominations are not the lines the general election will be run on.

Pushback

Two claims are getting blurred here: a ruling that costs one party an advantage it sought, and any suggestion that the replacement map is drawn more fairly. Only the first is what the report says.

Fair — but the timing is the part voters feel. The map used in the general election is not the map the primaries were run on.
