- 概要
- 该裁决可能保住美国众议员克利弗的席位
- 该州共和党总检察长将向美国最高法院提起上诉
- 反对新地图的投票团体曾在新地图生效前发起公投请愿
9月3日（路透社）——密苏里州最高法院周四否决了共和党绘制的新国会选区地图，禁止其在11月的中期选举中使用，这对共和党维持其在众议院微弱多数席位的胜算造成打击。
该裁决可能保住资深民主党籍美国众议员伊曼纽尔·克利弗的席位。根据重新绘制的地图，他位于堪萨斯城的选区已被拆分。

由五名共和党任命法官组成的七人合议庭一致裁定，该地图必须在11月的公投中获得选民批准后方可生效。

该州共和党总检察长凯瑟琳·哈纳维在X平台上表示，她将向美国最高法院提起上诉。
“这一前所未有的裁决明显违反联邦法律，将我们州拖入了一场彻头彻尾的宪法危机，”她说。
共和党议员推动通过新地图，是总统唐纳德·特朗普支持的更广泛竞选活动的一部分，该活动旨在重新划分选区界线，以利于本党候选人。
特朗普在Truth Social平台的帖子中谴责了这一裁决，称其“对密苏里州的‘司法’来说是黑暗的一天！”
一个名为“人民而非政客”的反对新地图的团体已经收集到足够签名，根据州宪法中的一项条款发起公投，该条款允许通过投票措施批准任何立法法案。

密苏里州共和党籍国务卿、该州最高选举官员丹尼·霍斯金斯驳回了该请愿，认为州宪法条款不适用于国会选区重划。最高法院周四驳回了这一论点。
“公投请愿是合法、充分且及时的，而国务卿却得出了相反的错误结论，”法官金杰·古奇为法院撰写的判决书中写道。古奇表示，重新绘制的地图“只有在获得选民批准后才能生效”。
目前尚不清楚该裁决将如何影响11月选举中的候选人。该州上月根据新地图举行了初选，法院并未明确说明在旧地图恢复使用的情况下，应如何选定候选人。
霍斯金斯的办公室曾辩称，在距离大选如此之近的情况下废除地图会造成混乱和实际操作难题。但法院将责任完全归咎于霍斯金斯，指出他在12月收到了请愿签名，却等到最后截止日期当天下午4点才予以驳回，拖延了近八个月。

“密苏里州宪法白纸黑字，这些措辞至关重要，”“人民而非政客”执行主任理查德·冯·格拉恩对记者表示。
在特朗普成功敦促德克萨斯州共和党人推翻该州的众议院选区地图后，一场非同寻常的中期选区重划大战就此爆发，密苏里州是众多制定新地图或采取行动制定新地图的州之一。
尽管共和党和民主党控制的州都绘制了新地图，但在美国最高法院裁定允许数个保守派南方州取消拥有大量黑人人口的选区后，共和党最终成为赢家。
总体而言，共和党在16个选区提升了胜选几率，包括密苏里州克利弗的席位，而民主党在6个选区获得了优势。美国众议院目前共和党以219票对214票占据微弱多数，另有一名独立议员与共和党党团结盟。

支持重新绘制地图的密苏里州共和党州长迈克·基在X平台上表示：“我们对今天非经选举产生的法官的裁决以及他们对立法程序的不尊重感到极为失望。”

- Summary
- Ruling could save House seat of US Representative Cleaver
- State’s Republican attorney general to appeal to US Supreme Court
- Voting group opposed to new map had petitioned for a referendum before it went into effect
Sept 3 (Reuters) – The Missouri Supreme Court on Thursday blocked a Republican-drawn new congressional map from being used in November’s midterm elections, a blow to the party’s odds for maintaining its narrow U.S. House majority.
The ruling could save the House seat of longtime Democratic U.S. Representative Emanuel Cleaver. His Kansas City-based district had been dismantled under the redrawn map.

The seven-member court, which includes five Republican-appointed judges, unanimously ruled the map must be approved by voters in a November referendum before it can take effect.

The state’s Republican attorney general, Catherine Hanaway, said on X that she would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“This unprecedented decision clearly violates federal law and has thrust our state into a full‑fledged constitutional crisis,” she said.
Republican lawmakers had installed the new map as part of a broader campaign backed by President Donald Trump to redraw district lines to favor the party’s candidates.
Trump condemned the ruling in a post on Truth Social, saying it was “a Dark Day for ‘Justice’ in Missouri!”
A group formed to oppose the new map, People Not Politicians, had 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.

Missouri’s Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, the state’s top election official, rejected the petition, finding that state constitutional language does not apply to congressional redistricting. The court on Thursday dismissed that argument.
“The referendum petition was legal, sufficient, and timely, and the secretary incorrectly concluded otherwise,” Judge Ginger Gooch wrote for the court. The redrawn map “will not go into effect unless and until approved by voters,” Gooch said.
It was not immediately clear how the ruling would affect candidates running in November’s election. The state held primary elections under the new map last month, and the court did not specify how it expected nominees to be selected now that the old map is back in place.
Hoskins’ office had argued that throwing out the map so close to the general election would cause confusion and practical challenges. But the court put the blame for that squarely on Hoskins, noting that he received the signatures in December and waited nearly eight months until 4 p.m. on the final deadline day to reject them.

“The Missouri constitution says what it says, and those words matter,” Richard von Glahn, executive director of People Not Politicians, told reporters.
Missouri was among numerous states that either installed new maps or took steps to do so as part of an extraordinary mid-decade redistricting battle that began when Trump successfully urged Texas Republicans to tear up that state’s U.S. House map.
While both Republican- and Democratic-controlled states drew new maps, Republicans eventually emerged as the winners after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling permitted several conservative Southern states to eliminate districts with significant Black populations.
Overall, Republicans improved their chances in 16 districts, including Cleaver’s seat in Missouri, while Democrats secured an edge in six districts. Republicans hold a narrow 219-214 majority in the U.S. House, including one independent who caucuses with Republicans.

Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe, a Republican who backed the redrawn map, said on X: “We are extremely disappointed in today’s decision by unelected judges and their lack of respect for the legislative process.”
