SCOTUS Punts on Missouri Redistricting, Giving Dems One House Seat

pgnewser September 9, 2026 0

The Supreme Court just created massive chaos in Missouri when Justice Brett Kavanaugh rejected a petition by the Missouri GOP seeking to overthrow a state SCOTUS ruling blocking their redistricting map. This map was the one voters assumed when they voted in the primary election.

A lower Federal court has already “lifted” the state SCOTUS ruling, leaving state authorities wondering which court to honor. If the lack of a SCOTUS ruling holds, Missourians who voted in the primary might be voting in a different district in the general election. This non-ruling effectively preserves one Democrat seat.

EXCERPT:

The U.S. Supreme Court has denied Missouri officials’ emergency request to use the state’s newly drawn congressional map in the November midterm election.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh denied the application Tuesday without a written explanation. The brief order leaves the Missouri Supreme Court’s ruling in place while election officials prepare for November.

That means Missouri will conduct the general election under the congressional districts adopted in 2022, even though the newer map was used for the August primary.

The emergency fight grew out of House Bill 1, a mid-decade redistricting measure approved by Missouri’s Republican-led legislature in September 2025 and signed by Gov. Mike Kehoe.

The map was drawn to improve Republican prospects in a Kansas City-area district. President Trump had encouraged Republican-led states to pursue new maps as control of the U.S. House remained closely contested.

Missouri used the new lines during its August primary. But a referendum campaign seeking a statewide vote on HB 1 collected more than 300,000 signatures and challenged Secretary of State Denny Hoskins’ decision to keep the question off the ballot.

On September 3, the Missouri Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the state constitution allows voters to approve or reject congressional redistricting legislation through a referendum.

The central question was whether the referendum power over “any act of the general assembly” reaches a congressional redistricting bill. The state’s high court concluded that it does because none of the constitution’s listed exceptions applied to HB 1.

The court also rejected the claim that election laws are categorically exempt from referendum. It noted that HB 1 contained no emergency clause and described the redistricting as optional because the districts enacted after the 2020 census remained available.

The justices ordered Hoskins to certify the petition and place HB 1 before voters in November. They barred officials from using the new districts unless voters approve the measure, leaving the 2022 lines in force for the general election.

In their emergency application to the U.S. Supreme Court, Missouri officials argued that switching maps between the primary and general election would create serious administrative and constitutional problems.

They said more than 1.2 million Missourians had already voted in the primary under the new districts. In their view, using different districts for the primary and general election would fracture a single election process and raise equal-protection concerns.

The filing warned that local officials would have to reassign hundreds of thousands of voters, explain new districts and revise months of election preparation in less than nine weeks. Missouri also pointed to federal deadlines for transmitting ballots to military and overseas voters.

The state further argued that the Missouri Supreme Court failed to account for federal election law when it restored the older districts. Officials asked Kavanaugh to pause the injunction while they pursued further review.

The challengers answered in an opposition filed Monday that HB 1 never legally took effect because the referendum petition suspended it under Missouri law.

They maintained that the 2022 districts never stopped being the lawful map for November. Their filing also said the federal claims had not been properly preserved in the state-court proceedings, creating a separate barrier to Supreme Court intervention.

The referendum supporters argued that state officials created the timing problem by waiting until August 4 to reject the petition, nearly eight months after organizers submitted more than 300,000 signatures. They disputed the claim that election administrators could not return to the earlier lines.

They urged Kavanaugh to leave the state court’s order untouched and allow voters to decide HB 1. Tuesday’s denial did exactly that for now, but it supplied no reasoning and did not resolve the broader constitutional arguments on the merits.

Attorney Marc Elias, whose firm represented the referendum supporters, called the decision a victory for his client and Missouri voters.

The political stakes are substantial. Missouri currently sends six Republicans and two Democrats to the U.S. House under the 2022 districts, while the newer map could have given Republicans a stronger opportunity to gain another seat.

For Missouri voters, the practical result is now clear: congressional candidates will compete under the 2022 map in November, while voters separately decide whether to approve or reject HB 1.

EXCERPT:

The FBI has hit the office of Nevada’s Democrat Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar with seven subpoenas seeking voter-related information as federal authorities ramp up scrutiny of the battleground state’s election records.

Aguilar’s office confirmed that it received all seven subpoenas from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) over the past three months.

The subpoenas were issued through the FBI.

However, Aguilar’s office has refused to disclose exactly what voter records, documents, or testimony federal investigators are seeking.

The extraordinary wave of subpoenas comes as Nevada prepares for the critical November midterm elections and amid an escalating battle between the Trump administration and Aguilar over access to the state’s voter rolls.

It also follows federal concerns that thousands of noncitizens may be registered to vote in Nevada.

EXCERPT:

The Department of Homeland Security is preparing to dramatically expand voter fraud investigations across a group of battleground and Democrat-led states beginning Tuesday, putting federal investigators on the ground just weeks before the 2026 midterm elections.

Homeland Security Investigations will launch what officials are calling a “coordinated criminal voter fraud surge initiative” beginning September 1. The effort is expected to run through mid-October and will involve investigators pursuing leads, interviewing individuals and preparing potential cases for prosecutors, according to internal federal guidance reviewed by CNN,

Nine states are expected to see investigative action: California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin. The deployment marks another significant escalation in the Trump administration’s effort to investigate allegations involving noncitizens who may have illegally registered or cast ballots.

HSI, an investigative arm of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, traditionally focuses on crimes including human trafficking, drug smuggling and child exploitation. Under President Donald Trump, however, the agency has increasingly been tasked with election-related investigations, particularly cases involving suspected noncitizen voting.

The timing is notable. The initiative will take place as states move closer to November’s midterm elections, when control of Congress will be decided.

Historically, federal prosecutors have been discouraged from taking highly visible investigative steps close to elections if those actions could affect campaigns or voting. That Justice Department policy does not directly bind DHS, however, and the internal DHS guidance reportedly makes no mention of those traditional timing concerns.

EXCERPT:

First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli said that the arrest of the Honduran national in California for allegedly unlawfully registering to vote shows the state’s vulnerability.

Essayli told Bill Melugin on Fox News:

This case really highlights the vulnerability in California’s voter rolls. They basically allow anybody to register to vote on the honor system. There’s nobody in government that is checking to confirm you’re a citizen, and in fact, in this case, he on the form put down a California driver’s license and a social, which he had because he has a visa that does not prove you’re a citizen. And according to the Secretary of State, they say at least half a million people don’t even provide that information when they register to vote.

Darwin Jonathan Rivera Flores faces two felony charges: false claim to U.S. citizenship and fraudulent voter registration.

Rivera Flores is a lawful permanent resident in California’s San Fernando Valley. But he is not a citizen and therefore cannot vote.

Rivera Flores has not voted in an election. The voter registration was dated November 4, 2025.

Authorities believe Rivera Flores intended to vote in November.

Rivera Flores appeared on the FBI’s radar due to harassing an agent after he disrupted ICE operations in February.

Obama Judge Once Again Orders Postal Service To Defy Trump’s Mail-In Ballot Executive Order– dailycaller.com

EXCERPT:

An Obama-appointed judge once again temporarily barred the U.S. Postal Service from carrying out President Donald Trump’s restrictions on mail-in ballots in a Thursday ruling.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani lifted a preliminary injunction Wednesday after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that some of Trump’s limits could remain in place. The judge issued a new ruling reversing the previous decision, arguing that USPS overstepped its legal mandate, which once again blocked Trump’s rule.

Trump signed an executive order on March 31 titled, “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,” which established certain rules for the USPS regarding mail-in and absentee ballots. Section 3 of the executive order required all outgoing election mail to be marked as “Official Election Mail,” including a unique Intelligent Mail barcode and be pre-approved by the USPS for design and barcode placement. (RELATED: Judicial Order Blocking Trump’s Post Office Rule For Mail-In Ballots Lifted After SCOTUS Intervention)

“Where a state or local election official does not obtain envelope and return envelope design approval, or does not upload voter information, or does not include unique intelligent mail bar codes on ballot envelopes, the U.S.P.S. will not mail ballots to voters,” the ruling stated.

Talwani argued that Congress did not delegate authority to the USPS to regulate election mail. She argued the rules would prevent citizens from voting by mail unless the USPS approved the ballots in a timely manner.

The judge further argued that imposing these rules on the states is unconstitutional. She placed a fourteen-day stay on the “implementation or enforcement” of the rules, which prevents USPS from taking these steps ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

“The court finds Plaintiffs likely to succeed on the merits of their claims that (1) the USPS lacked authority to issue the Final Rule; (2) the Final Rule is unconstitutional in imposing these requirements on the States; and (3) the Final Rule is unconstitutional in prohibiting non-compliant State and local officials from using the United States Postal Service to mail ballots,” the judge said.

Talwani initially barred Section 3 in an Aug. 11 ruling after the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts and other activist groups sued the administration over the executive order.

A court in California issued a similar injunction, which reached the Supreme Court in the case, Trump v. California. The high court stayed the injunction, allowing the administration to move forward with the executive order.


DHS Finds Chinese Parts in U.S. Voting Machines

Due to a breach in security, the Department of Homeland Security has let states know it will be conducting spot paper ballot audits of U.S. voting machines this November.

The announcement comes following news Chinese parts have shown up in U.S. voting machines, giving the Chinese government potential opportunity to manipulate election results. This is a follow-up on the announcement President Trump made in July about Chinese interference in U.S. elections.

EXCERPT:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is planning to require states do random audits of paper ballots in order to counteract the danger from potential Chinese access to voting machines this November.

The statement that China interferes in our elections is not supposition. It is fact, and the only question is to what extent. As part of his July reveal of classified document caches exposing a vast domestic and international election fraud network, President Donald Trump noted that not only did the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) steal 200 million voters’ data and manufacture fake ballots to help Joe Biden, it also has potential access to vote tabulation machines. Indeed, the CCP mounted a pressure campaign to influence American officials ahead of the 2020 election. It subsequently transpired that a Chinese company had bought the vendor involved in the New Jersey noncitizen registered voters scandal.

All of which is to say that it is perfectly understandable that DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin is concerned about the CCP’s and related entities’ possible ability to influence the midterm election, especially since he almost certainly has even more evidence than we, the public, do about Chinese meddling.

Democrats Lose Gerrymandering Battle in Maryland

A Maryland judge has temporarily blocked Democrats from placing a congressional redistricting question on the November ballot, handing Republicans an early victory in their fight against a maneuver that could make it easier to target the state’s only GOP member of Congress.

Anne Arundel County Circuit Court Judge Robert J. Thompson issued an injunction Wednesday, ruling that the Democrat-controlled General Assembly must follow the ballot procedures established under Maryland law.

The ruling has been stayed while the case is appealed to the Maryland Supreme Court.

Republicans argue that Democrats are trying to change the rules governing congressional districts in order to make it harder to challenge a future map designed to oust Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), the lone Republican in Maryland’s congressional delegation.

The final ruling was 6-3, with the three progressive judges dissenting. The ruling did not determine if the executive order was legal, it only determined the states had no standing because they offered no proof of “concrete” harm by the order, claiming their arguments were only “conjecture.”

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Donald Trump’s executive order regarding mail-in ballots to go forward.

In late March, Trump issued an executive order requiring states to send a list of names of those receiving mail-in ballots so they could be verified as U.S. citizens, with the Department of Homeland Security working in conjunction with the Social Security Administration.

“The Federal Government has an unavoidable duty under Article II of the Constitution of the United States to enforce Federal law, which includes preventing violations of Federal criminal law and maintaining public confidence in election outcomes,” the directive read.

The U.S. Postal Service was instructed not to deliver ballots to those unverified as citizens.

Further, states are required to have “unique ballot envelope identifiers, such as bar codes, [to] enable confirmation that only citizens receive and cast ballots, reducing the risk of fraud and protecting the integrity of Federal elections.”

The Senate Race In Alaska Is What A Rigged Election Looks Like– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

If you want to know what a “rigged” election looks like, look no further than the U.S. Senate primary race still underway in Alaska. As of this writing, the Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan trails Mary Peltola, a Democrat and former member of the House, by about 5 points.

Some 30,000 votes are still uncounted, but it won’t change the fundamentals going into the November general election thanks to Alaska’s insane and fraudulent ranked-choice voting regime. In Alaska, the primary purpose of ranked-choice voting (or RCV) is to prevent conservative Republicans from winning statewide office and to keep Sen. Lisa Murkowski in Washington.

Full disclosure: I grew up in Alaska and live there now, and while I’m immensely proud to be from this great state and great land in the majestic northern marches of America, our voting system here is an embarrassment.

Ranked-choice voting, or RCV, replaced our party primary system with an open or “jungle primary” in which any resident of the state can sign up as a candidate and appear on the ballot. But we have RCV, which means after the primary the top four candidates advance to the general election, in which voters are supposed to rank their preferred candidates instead of simply choosing one.

That means you could potentially have two Republicans and one Democrat on the general election ballot, which all but guarantees the Democrat will win. And of course that’s exactly how Mary Peltola was elected in 2022. She ran in a special election to replace the late Rep. Don Young, a Republican who had held Alaska’s sole U.S. House seat for 49 years. The Republican vote split between Sarah Palin and Nick Begich (now a member of the House), and Peltola eked out a victory in the “second round” of vote-counting.

According to court filings, Sun submitted an online voter registration in Massachusetts on October 10, 2024, impersonating another Chinese national residing in the state who had legal permanent resident (LPR) status.

Sun reportedly then submitted an early voting ballot at Malden City Hall for the 2024 presidential election on October 31, while still impersonating the victim.

But my experience as an elected official tells me that if there is a glitch anywhere, it’s in the law under which they were registered.

EXCERPT:

The Supreme Court delivered a big win to the Trump administration this week that could clear the way for better election integrity across the U.S.

Trump v. California, decided on Monday, cleared a major hurdle in the ongoing legal fight over President Donald Trump’s executive order “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections” issued in March.

The primary directives concerned the fight to ensure that only citizens vote in federal elections and to increase the security, integrity, and transparency of mail balloting across the nation.

The fight over the details is sure to continue in the days and weeks ahead, but the Trump administration now has a path to increase the integrity of mail voting prior to the 2026 midterm elections.

The Supreme Court halted a Massachusetts District Court’s ruling to sideline the Trump executive order on two major grounds. The 23 left-leaning states that had sued the federal government over the potential rules lacked legal standing to interfere with the executive branch development of rules and that the ripeness of the case was premature, thus too early to intervene with ongoing implementation or decide the constitutional merits of the case.

On Wednesday, the conservative Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a ruling blocking key measures of Texas’ sweeping voter suppression law, SB 1.

A lower court previously ruled that the law, which effectively made it harder for people to vote with assistance, violated disability civil rights laws. It also created more barriers to voting by mail.

“It has long been established that mail-in ballots are prone to fraud,” Judge Andrew Oldham wrote, according to Democracy Docket. “That is why voting by mail jeopardizes election integrity and democracy itself.”

There is no evidence that mail-in ballots are “prone to fraud.” An analysis from the Brookings Institution found an “average total mail voting fraud percentage across the 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022 general elections of only 0.000043 [percent].” Or, about 4 votes per 10 million votes. Mail-in voting can be very important for disabled and aging people, who otherwise may have to deal with accessibility challenges with getting to the polls and access issues when voting itself.
