Donald J. Trump attacked a Missouri Supreme Court ruling on the state’s electoral maps, calling the decision unconstitutional and warning it threatens the coming election. Trump labeled the outcome a Dark Day for Justice in Missouri. He argued the court ordered a return to older map designs and said there would not be enough time to change the map back before the vote. Trump called for the state to use the maps that were in effect during the recent primary, framing the ruling as a disruption of the election process rather than a confirmed legal finding.
