Authorities have asked the US Supreme Court to reinstate a congressional district map that includes an additional seat for the Republican Party. This request comes after the state's supreme court blocked the map for the November elections. The emergency appeal warns of potential chaos in the administration of federal elections.

The appeal was filed a day after the state's supreme court made its decision. It is part of a national struggle related to President Donald Trump's efforts on redistricting that has reached the high court.

Further details on this case are available from the source, including the full appeal and the events leading up to it.
