In People Not Politicians v. Onder, the Supreme Court stayed federal-court orders that would have forced Missouri to use its 2025 congressional map instead of the 2022 map. Under state law, the 2025 map cannot take effect unless voters approve it in a referendum. Relying on Purcell v. Gonzalez, the Court held that federal courts should not change a state's election rules on the eve of an election, especially here, where ballots on the 2022 map had already been printed and mailed and voting had begun. It also rejected the Eighth Circuit's view that the Missouri Supreme Court caused the late change, noting that the state court had flagged the referendum requirement months before the primary.

About Supreme Court Decision Syllabus (SCOTUS Podcast)
Following what the Supreme Court is actually doing can be daunting. Reporting on the subject is often only done within the context of political narratives of the day -- and following the Court's decisions and reading every new case can be a non-starter. The purpose of this Podcast is to make it as easy as possible for members of the public to source information about what is happening at the Supreme Court. For that reason, we read every Opinion Syllabus without any commentary whatsoever. Further, there are no advertisements or sponsors. We call it "information sourcing," and we hope that the podcast is a useful resource for members of the public who want to understand the legal issues of the day, prospective law students who want to get to know legal language and understand good legal writing, and attorneys who can use the podcast to be better advocates for their clients. *Note this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only.
