POLICY WIRE — St. Louis, Missouri — Legal disputes over Missouri’s congressional map have created uncertainty ahead of the upcoming elections, as two courts issued conflicting rulings just before the ballot deadline.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a state court decision that blocked the use of the new map while a voter initiative challenges its validity. Meanwhile, a federal judge in Missouri ruled that the redrawn map should be used for November’s general election, citing constitutional concerns if it isn’t applied consistently with the primaries.

A pro-AI super PAC, led by OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman, is ramping up its efforts to influence the midterm elections by supporting candidates who back data center expansion.

Meanwhile, Tesla’s self-driving Cybercabs in Austin, Texas, are raising alarms among first responders due to their lack of traditional controls, prompting concerns about emergency response protocols.
