The order requires the state to use a congressional map that could favor Republican candidates. And followed a quick decision from the US Supreme Court. From St. Louis Public Radio, Jason Rosenbaum explains the court orders have created some confusion.
“US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh refused to hear an appeal of a Missouri Supreme”

St. Louis County Democratic elections director Eric Fay says he's worried about meeting

access. As NPR Salinas Simmons' Duffin reports, this is the same abortion medication case that US Supreme Court considered earlier this year. The case is Louisiana versus the Food and Drug Administration. Louisiana has a total abortion ban and argues that the FDA's telehealth rules violate
states' rights because residents of Louisiana have been able to use telehealth to continue to access abortion despite the ban. They can connect to a doctor online in another state and then receive the medication in the mail. Louisiana also questions the FDA's decision-making process for granting telehealth access
to medication abortion in 2023. The lawsuit succeeds telehealth abortion access could be restricted across the country, including in states where abortion is legal. Oral arguments are at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, the case is very likely to end up back at the Supreme Court.
