Legal commentator Steve Vladeck noted the 8th Circuit ordered its own ruling stayed long enough for challengers to seek Supreme Court intervention, tempering initial alarm.
“But before folks freak out, it also ordered that court to pause such a ruling for long enough that the challengers can (and will) seek further review from #SCOTUS”

There is going to be important election related litigation news virtually every day between now and early January, at least. Here’s a doozy.

It’s just a constant back and forth. The 8th Circuit has now ruled that Missouri should use the GOP-drawn 2025 congressional map for the November midterms, putting the federal appeals court at odds with the Missouri Supreme Court, which ordered the state to use its 2022 map.

Sure enough, eighth circuit court of appeals instructs Missouri to use the pro R 2026 map that the Supreme Court seemed conclusively to reject. There’s going to be some ‘splainin to do. Haven’t read the opinion yet, but I can’t imagine it’s persuasive under the circumstances.
