密苏里州正面临两项相互抵触的法院裁决带来的困境。1保守派大法官布雷特·卡瓦诺夫驳回了州官员在11月中期选举中使用新选区地图的紧急请求，1与此同时，该州一名联邦法官的裁决又临时禁止使用旧地图。1这使得州内国会选举的进行陷入了不确定状态。
密苏里州最高法院曾裁定新地图必须提交选民投票才能使用，1这一决定招致了共和党人的不满。1新地图针对第五选区进行了重大调整——该选区长期由民主党代表伊曼纽尔·克利弗代表——将堪萨斯城部分地区重新分配给由共和党人代表的两个相邻选区。1特朗普对密苏里州最高法院的裁决进行了抨击，称其为"可怕的、荒唐的、违宪的"。1
Missouri faces contradictory judicial orders that have thrown the state's midterm elections into uncertainty, with one court blocking the use of a newly redrawn congressional map while another prohibits the use of the previous map.1 Conservative Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh rejected an emergency request from Missouri officials to use the new district map for the November elections.1 Simultaneously, a federal judge in Missouri issued a temporary injunction preventing the state from using the old congressional map.1
The conflict stems from earlier action by Missouri's highest court, which ruled that the new map must be submitted to voters for approval before it could be used.1 The redrawn map shifts portions of Kansas City from the Fifth Congressional District—long represented by Democratic Congressman Emanuel Cleaver—to two neighboring districts represented by Republicans.1 Trump characterized the state court's ruling as "terrible, ridiculous, and unconstitutional."1
