Kavanaugh acted alone and did not refer the application to the full Supreme Court.The decision means Missouri will conduct the general election using its 2022 congressional districts after the state high court ruled the newer map never legally took effect because a voter-backed referendum suspended the law before it could go into effect.This is a developing story.Check back later for updates.Brittany Miller is a Fox News Digital breaking news writer and former Independent reporter who graduated from Syracuse University in 2023.Get the latest updates on the Trump administration and Congress, exclusive interviews and more Fox News politics content.By entering your email and clicking the Subscribe button, you agree to the Fox News Privacy Policy and Terms of Use , and agree to receive content and promotional communications from Fox News.
