President Donald Trump called out a decision by Missouri’s Supreme Court to restore an earlier congressional map.
In a post, Trump called the ruling “ridiculous” and “unconstitutional,” arguing that the decision could disrupt the election process with voting just around the corner.
Trump is now calling on Missouri to use the map that was in effect during the state’s primary election, as the fight over the boundaries moves into the final stretch before November.
The Missouri Supreme Court just ridiculously ruled in favor of changing the maps back to what they were a long time ago. It’s called, Ancient History! The problem is, according to Legal Scholars, that not only was the ruling horrible, ridiculous, and unConstitutional, but there won’t be enough time to change the map back with the Election coming up in a very short period of time. The Election Process, as usual, is being disturbed in America! Missouri must be able to use the map that was in effect just a couple of months ago, in the Primary. This is a Dark Day for “Justice” in Missouri! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
The Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the map couldn’t be used this election cycle.
The Missouri Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the state’s redrawn congressional map cannot be used in this year’s midterm elections, dealing a blow to Republicans.
The court ruled that a referendum on whether the state can use the map going forward must be included on the November ballot, meaning Missouri’s fall elections will take place under its previous district lines.
The new map was designed to draw one of the two Missouri Democrats in Congress, longtime Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, out of his seat.
