- 概要
- 共和党绘制的地图取消了一个民主党掌控的选区
- 密苏里州最高法院叫停新地图，等待全民公投
- 联邦法官随后发布了相互矛盾的裁决，支持新地图
9月9日（路透社）——旨在偏袒共和党人的密苏里州重划国会选区地图的反对者于周三向美国最高法院提出请求，要求暂停一名联邦法官的命令，该命令仅允许在11月的中期选举中使用重新划定的选区边界。
包括反对共和党绘制地图的组织“人民而非政客”在内的地图反对者，在密苏里州圣路易斯的美国联邦地区法院首席法官斯蒂芬·克拉克周二发布裁决后，迅速通过紧急文件提交了这一请求。

就在一天前，美国最高法院拒绝介入密苏里州官员恢复重划地图的诉求，密苏里州最高法院此前已叫停该地图，等待全民公投。而此次请求将密苏里州美国众议院选区的争端再次带回最高法院。
克拉克的裁决似乎与密苏里州最高法院9月3日一致通过的叫停该地图的裁决相冲突，导致该州国会选区处于悬而未决的状态，并为这场关乎重大的选举争端增添了更多混乱。
密苏里州共和党人于2025年通过了新的选区地图，该地图拆除了长期担任民主党众议员的伊曼纽尔·克利弗位于堪萨斯城的选区，这是总统唐纳德·特朗普支持的更广泛努力的一部分，旨在以有利于共和党候选人的方式重划国会选区。

美国众议院中共和党人以219票对214票占据微弱多数，其中包括一名与共和党党团结盟的无党派议员。
这场争端的起因是“人民而非政客”组织——自称由反对该州选举地图划分选区的共和党人、无党派人士和民主党人组成的联盟——收集到了足够签名，根据州宪法中的一项条款提起全民公投，该条款授权通过投票表决批准任何立法法案。
州务卿丹尼·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，裁定该全民公投请愿“合法、充分且及时”，并重划的地图在获得选民批准前不会生效。
密苏里州联邦众议员共和党人鲍勃·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。
在周二的裁决中，克拉克禁止在11月的选举中使用除2025年重划地图之外的任何地图，因为这些国会选区边界已于8月4日的初选中使用。
在共和党州务卿丹尼·霍斯金斯回应克拉克的裁决，告知当地选举官员继续使用2025年地图后，争端进一步升级。
密苏里州最高法院随后表示，如果认定霍斯金斯违反了其9月3日叫停该地图的裁决，将考虑以藐视法庭罪对其提起诉讼。法院命令他于9月10日亲自出庭参加相关听证会。

- Summary
- Republican-drawn map erased a Democratic-held district
- Missouri Supreme Court blocked new map pending a referendum
- Federal judge then issued conflicting ruling favoring new map
Sept 9 (Reuters) – Challengers to a redrawn congressional map in Missouri aimed at favoring Republicans asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to suspend a federal judge’s order that allowed only those reconfigured boundaries to be used in November’s midterm elections.
The map’s challengers, including a group opposed to the Republican-drawn map called People Not Politicians, made the request in an emergency filing, moving swiftly after St. Louis, Missouri-based Chief U.S. District Judge Stephen Clark issued his decision on Tuesday.

The request brings the fight over Missouri’s U.S. House of Representatives districts back to the Supreme Court just one day after it declined to intervene in a bid by Missouri officials to reinstate the redrawn map, which the state’s top court had blocked until it is put to a referendum.
Clark’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 President Donald 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.
The dispute in Missouri arose when People Not Politicians, which calls itself a coalition of Republicans, Independents, and Democrats opposed to gerrymandering the state’s electoral map, 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.
In his order on Tuesday, Clark barred the use of any map for the November elections except for the redrawn 2025 map because those congressional district boundaries were already used for the August 4 primary elections.
The fight intensified after Republican Secretary of State Denny 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 if it determines he violated its September 3 ruling blocking that map. It ordered him to appear in person on September 10 for a hearing on the matter.
