The US Supreme Court on Friday again blocked Missouri from using a congressional map redrawn to give Republicans an edge in November's midterm elections. The order came less than two months before the vote, leaving election officials with little time to adjust plans. Commenters welcomed the ruling as unexpected good news from a court that has often backed redistricting efforts favorable to Republicans.

Why now: The ruling reshapes a key midterm race weeks before the November elections.
