- 联邦法官随后发布了支持新地图的相互矛盾的裁决
9月10日（路透社）——美国最高法院周四阻止密苏里州在11月的中期选举中使用有利于共和党的重新划分国会选区地图，这给总统唐纳德·特朗普及其政党维持众议院微弱多数席位的几率带来了打击。
大法官们批准了地图反对者的紧急请求，暂停了一名联邦法官的裁决——该裁决允许仅在11月3日的选举中使用重新划定的选区边界。

这是三天来美国最高司法机构第二次否决保留共和党绘制地图的请求，此前这场围绕密苏里州美国众议院选区的全面法律斗争在州法院和联邦法院同时展开。
最高法院的简短命令未签署任何法官姓名，也未给出解释，这在大法官处理紧急事务时是常见做法。没有大法官公开对该裁决表示反对。
总部位于密苏里州圣路易斯的美国首席地区法官斯蒂芬·克拉克于周二发布裁决后，包括反对共和党绘制地图的组织“人民而非政客”在内的反对者迅速寻求最高法院的干预。

就在克拉克作出裁决前不久，最高法院仅由保守派大法官布雷特·卡瓦诺作出裁决，拒绝干预密苏里州官员恢复重新划分地图的另一项请求——密苏里州最高法院此前已暂停该地图生效，直至举行全民公投。
该法官的命令似乎与密苏里州最高法院9月3日一致裁决否决该地图相冲突，导致该州国会选区陷入不确定状态，并进一步加剧了这场高风险选举斗争的混乱。
密苏里州共和党于2025年通过了新地图，该地图撤销了长期担任民主党众议员伊曼纽尔·克利弗位于堪萨斯城的席位，这是特朗普支持的更广泛的重新划分国会选区计划的一部分，该计划旨在以有利于共和党候选人的方式调整选区。
共和党目前在美国众议院以219票对214票占据微弱多数，其中包括一名与共和党团的无党派议员。
“人民而非政客”组织执行董事理查德·冯·格恩赞扬了周四的裁决。
“法律就是法律，密苏里州宪法清晰明了，密苏里州最高法院的裁决也是如此。去年秋天，超过30.5万名密苏里州选民——包括共和党人、民主党人和无党派人士——采取行动阻止了这场政治权力攫取，”冯·格恩在一份声明中说道。
“密苏里州共和党人打出了最后一张牌，他们输了，”该组织的律师阿卜哈·坎纳说道，并补充道，“在选民发表意见之前，密苏里州不会被允许强行通过一项极其恶劣的党派操纵选区划分方案。”
为2025年地图辩护的密苏里州共和党总检察长凯瑟琳·哈纳韦和共和党州务卿丹尼·霍斯金斯的代表没有立即回应置评请求。

这场争端源于该组织收集到足够签名，根据州宪法中一项授权通过全民投票批准任何立法法案的条款提交全民公投请愿书。
霍斯金斯驳回了该请愿书，认为州宪法条款不适用于国会选区重划。
由五名共和党任命法官组成的七人密苏里州最高法院对此持不同意见，裁定公投请愿书“合法、充分且及时”，重新绘制的地图在获得选民批准前不会生效。
密苏里州共和党联邦众议员鲍勃·恩德及其他原告随后在联邦法院提起诉讼，要求恢复共和党绘制的地图，这导致克拉克现已被暂停的裁决出台。
在霍斯金斯——该州最高选举官员——对克拉克的裁决作出回应，指示当地选举官员继续使用2025年地图后，这场斗争愈演愈烈。密苏里州最高法院随后表示将考虑以藐视法庭罪起诉霍斯金斯的这些行为。

- Missouri Supreme Court blocked new map pending a referendum
- Federal judge then issued conflicting ruling favoring new map
Sept 10 (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court blocked Missouri on Thursday from using a redrawn congressional map that favors Republicans in November’s midterm elections, dealing a setback to President Donald Trump and the party’s odds of maintaining its slim majority in the House of Representatives.
The justices granted an emergency request by the map’s challengers to suspend a federal judge’s decision that allowed only the reconfigured boundaries to be used in the November 3 elections.

It was the second time in three days that the nation’s highest judicial body rejected bids to preserve the Republican-drawn map in what became an all-out legal fight, waged in both state and federal courts, over Missouri’s U.S. House of Representatives districts.
The Supreme Court’s brief order was unsigned and gave no explanation, as is common when the justices handle emergency matters. No justice publicly dissented from the decision.
The challengers, including a group opposed to the Republican-drawn map called People Not Politicians, had swiftly sought the Supreme Court’s intervention after St. Louis, Missouri-based Chief U.S. District Judge Stephen Clark issued his decision on Tuesday.

Clark’s decision came shortly after the Supreme Court, in a decision made by conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh alone, had declined to intervene in a separate bid by Missouri officials to reinstate the redrawn map, which the state’s top court had blocked until it is put to a referendum.
The judge’s order appeared to conflict with the Missouri Supreme Court’s unanimous September 3 ruling blocking the map, leaving the state’s congressional districts in limbo and injecting further confusion into the high-stakes electoral fight.
Missouri Republicans adopted the new map, which dismantled the Kansas City-based seat of longtime Democratic Representative Emanuel Cleaver, in 2025 as part of a broader effort backed by Trump to redraw congressional districts in ways that could benefit Republican candidates.
Republicans hold a narrow 219-214 majority in the U.S. House, including one independent who caucuses with Republicans.
Richard von Glahn, the executive director of People Not Politicians, praised Thursday’s decision.
“The law is the law, the Missouri constitution is clear as was the Missouri Supreme Court. Over 305,000 Missouri voters — Republicans, Democrats and Independents — took action to block this political power grab last fall,” von Glahn said in a statement.
“Missouri Republicans have played their last card, and they lost,” said Abha Khanna, a lawyer for the group, adding that “Missouri will not be allowed to ram through an egregious gerrymander before the voters have a say.”
Representatives for Missouri Republican Attorney General Catherine Hanaway and Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, who defended the 2025 map, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The dispute arose when the group collected enough signatures to file for a referendum under a provision in the state constitution that authorizes a ballot measure to approve any legislative act.
Hoskins rejected the petition, finding that state constitutional language does not apply to congressional redistricting.
The seven-member Missouri Supreme Court, which includes five Republican-appointed judges, disagreed, ruling that the referendum petition was “legal, sufficient, and timely,” and that the redrawn map will not take effect until approved by voters.
Missouri Republican U.S. Representative Bob Onder and other plaintiffs then filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to reinstate the Republican-drawn map, leading to Clark’s now-suspended order.
The fight intensified after Hoskins, the state’s top election official, responded to Clark’s order by telling local election officials to proceed with using the 2025 map. The Missouri Supreme Court then said it would consider holding Hoskins in contempt for those actions.
