华盛顿讯——周二晚间，在一家上诉法院下令恢复特朗普总统支持的新选区方案后，有关密苏里州国会选区地图的争议第三次提交至美国最高法院。
这份新地图旨在帮助共和党在这场将决定国会控制权的关键中期选举中多拿下一个众议院席位。最高法院此前曾两次阻止该地图在11月的选举中使用。
最新的紧急上诉源于一次不同寻常的联邦上诉法院裁决：尽管最高法院已于9月10日叫停相关行动，但该法院仍下令在最后时刻恢复这份对共和党有利的选区地图。本周早些时候，布雷特·卡瓦诺大法官驳回了密苏里州国务卿丹尼·霍斯金斯的上诉，支持密苏里州最高法院的裁决。
大法官们维持了密苏里州最高法院的判决，该判决要求该州沿用原有选区地图。州法院裁定，新选区方案除非经全州全民公投通过，否则不得生效。
美国最高法院要求新地图的支持者在周三午前对最新的上诉作出回应。
这场争议已导致逾百万潜在选民陷入混乱，他们的所属选区可能被重新调整。密苏里州的缺席投票已于近期启动，使用的是2022年人口普查后通过的选区地图。
这份由特朗普先生支持的新国会选区地图大幅重塑了民主党众议员伊曼纽尔·克利弗所在的堪萨斯城选区。共和党人希望通过该地图拿下该州8个众议院席位中的7个——比他们目前拥有的席位多一个。
在过去一年里约有十几个州试图调整本国会众议院选区，密苏里州的重划之争是其中耗时最长、最为复杂的一例。选区通常在每十年一次的人口普查结束后重新划定。但去年特朗普敦促共和党主政的州重划选区以在中期选举中占据优势，由此引发了一波中期重划选区的浪潮。
Redrawn Missouri congressional map lands before Supreme Court for third time

Washington— The fight over Missouri’s congressional map returned to the U.S. Supreme Court for a third time late Tuesday after an appeals court ordered the revival of new districts backed by President Trump.
The new map was drawn to help Republicans gain a U.S. House seat in the pivotal midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress. The Supreme Court has twice blocked efforts to use it in November.
The latest emergency appeal came after an unusual federal appeals court ruling that ordered a last-minute return to a GOP-friendly map even after the Supreme Court halted such a move on Sept. 10. Earlier that week, Justice Brett Kavanaugh rejected an appeal from Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins and sided with Missouri’s Supreme Court.
The justices left in place the Missouri Supreme Court decision,which required the state to use its previous map. The state court ruled that the new districts couldn’t take effect unless voters approved them in a statewide referendum.
The U.S. Supreme Court gave supporters of the new map until midday Wednesday to respond to the latest appeal.
The dispute has caused confusion for over a million potential voters who could be shuffled among districts. Absentee voting already is underway in Missouri using districts adopted in 2022, after the last census.
The new congressional map backed by Mr. Trump significantly reshapes a Kansas City-based district held by Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver. Republicans hope the map could help them win seven of the state’s eight House seats – one more than they currently hold.
Missouri’s redistricting battle has been the longest and most complex among roughly a dozen states that sought to change their U.S. House districts over the past year. Districts are usually redrawn at the start of each decade, after a census. But Mr. Trump spurred a spate of mid-decade redistricting last year when he urged Republican-led states to redraw districts to gain an edge in the midterms.
