The Supreme Court denied Missouri's request to use a redistricted congressional map for the November midterms, according to reports.
CNN reported the rejection on Tuesday and noted that the congressional map would have given the GOP a chance to flip a seat in its favor. The report also called it a rare Supreme Court setback for the GOP in its effort to keep congressional seats with redistricting maps.
Justice Bret Kavanaugh, who handles emergency applications from Missouri, issued the opinion, NBC News reported.
