A federal judge in Missouri on Tuesday issued a temporary injunction barring the state from employing its erstwhile congressional district map in the November elections, at a juncture when the United States Supreme Court has declined to intervene in this convoluted and perplexing legal imbroglio.

密蘇里州的一名聯邦法官週二暫時頒布禁制令,阻撓該州於十一月選舉中沿用舊有的國會選區劃分,此際美國最高法院已拒絕介入這場迂迴曲折、令人費解的法律紛爭。

These rulings amply underscore the chaotic state of affairs that has come to characterize the Missouri redistricting dispute, a controversy that has now persisted for well over a year.

此等裁決充分彰顯密蘇里州選區重劃之爭所呈現的混沌態勢此一紛擾已綿延逾一載有餘

The initiation of federal litigation coincided with a ruling by the Missouri Supreme Court that the state could not employ the newly drawn U.S. House district map endorsed by President Donald Trump in the November election, given that citizens had submitted thousands of petition signatures demanding a statewide referendum on the map.

聯邦司法訴訟之提起適逢密蘇里州最高法院裁定該州不得於十一月選舉中採用由總統唐納德·特朗普所支持之新美國眾議院選區劃分圖蓋因公民已提交數千份請願連署要求就此圖進行全州公民投票

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of the United States dismissed an appeal lodged by Missouri's Republican Attorney General, thereby upholding the injunction previously issued by the state's highest court.

美國最高法院於週二駁回密蘇里州共和黨籍檢察總長所提出之上訴從而維持該州最高法院先前頒布之禁制令

However, shortly thereafter, United States District Judge Stephen Clark issued a separate temporary restraining order, expressly mandating that Missouri may not adopt any redistricting plan other than the new map endorsed by the Republicans.

然而旋即美國地區法官斯蒂芬·克拉克另發布一項臨時限制令明令密蘇里州不得採用除共和黨所支持之新選區劃分以外任何其他選區方案

The newly delineated districts were duly implemented during the August primary elections, and the victorious candidates therein have been formally certified by the electoral authorities.

新選區已於八月初選付諸實施勝出者業經選舉官員正式認證。

Nevertheless, the contentious question of which districting scheme will ultimately govern the November general election remains conspicuously unresolved, pending further adjudication and clarification.

然而十一月大選究竟將採行何種選區劃分,此一爭議性議題至今懸而未決尚待進一步釐清

This constitutes the latest development in a breaking news story.

此乃一則突發新聞最新進展。

The following is the content of the Associated Press's earlier report.

美聯社先前報導內容如下

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court dismissed an appeal lodged by Missouri officials concerning the adoption of new congressional districts endorsed by President Donald Trump for the November electiona setback for Republicans, who had harbored aspirations that the revised map would buttress their precarious majority.

最高法院於週二駁回密蘇里州官員十一月選舉採用總統唐納德·特朗普所支持之新國會選區所提出之上訴此舉對共和黨人而言不啻為一挫敗彼等曾冀望新地圖能助其維繫岌岌可危的多數優勢

The justices upheld the ruling of the Missouri Supreme Court, which had determined that a petition mandating a statewide referendum automatically stayed the implementation of the newly drawn districts.

法官們維持了密蘇里州最高法院的裁決該院認定要求全州公民投票的請願書自動暫緩新選區的劃定

This ruling epitomizes a rare and emblematic setback for the Republican Party in the nationwide redistricting contesta campaign that was, in fact, instigated last year at the behest of Trump, who urged his fellow partisans to undertake it.

此項裁決象徵著共和黨在全國選區重劃的角逐中,遭遇了一場罕見且具象徵意義的挫敗;而此一戰役,正是去年由特朗普力促其黨內同志所發起。

Although the newly delineated congressional districts in Missouri were already implemented during the August primary elections, the state's Supreme Court ruled in September that the state government must revert to the district boundaries adopted following the most recent census.

密蘇里州新劃定之選區雖已於八月初選付諸實行,然該州最高法院於九月裁定州政府必須恢復至上一次人口普查後所採納之選區劃分

Kathryn Hanaway, the Republican state attorney general and appellant in the case, contended that redrawing electoral districts for voters between the primary and general elections could impinge upon federal-level rights; she further asserted that such a move would inevitably precipitate administrative chaos.

共和黨籍州總檢察長凱瑟琳·哈納韋作為上訴之提出方曾主張於初選與大選之間為選民重新劃分選區恐將侵害聯邦層級之權利其並進一步指稱此舉勢必引發治理上的紊亂

Missouri is presently represented in the United States House of Representatives by six Republicans and two Democrats, all of whom were elected under a redistricting plan ratified by Republican state officials in 2022.

密蘇里州目前在美國聯邦眾議院中由六名共和黨籍與兩名民主黨籍議員代表而此等議員係依據共和黨籍州級官員於2022年所核定之選區劃分方案而當選

Nevertheless, under pressure from Trump, Missouri's Governor Mike Kehoe convened a special session of the state legislature last year, with the intent of redrawing congressional districts prior to the midterm elections, thereby seeking to advance his own political interests.

然而在特朗普的施壓之下密蘇里州州長麥克·基霍於去年召集州議會召開臨時特別會議意圖在期中選舉之前重新劃分國會選區藉此謀求己方之政治利益

The revised map targeted the Fifth Congressional District, represented by Emanuel Cleaver, the long-serving Democratic congressman from Kansas City, reallocating portions of its territory to two adjacent Republican-dominated districts, while the remainder of Cleaver's district extended eastward, incorporating the expansive Republican rural hinterland.

修訂後的地圖針對堪薩斯城長期任職的民主黨籍聯邦眾議員伊曼紐爾·克利弗所代表的第五國會選區將其部分轄域重新劃歸兩個由共和黨人主導的毗鄰選區,克利弗選區的其餘版圖向東延伸納入幅員遼闊的共和黨鄉村腹地

Cleaver faced no opposition in the Democratic primary, effectively securing victory by default.

克利弗在民主黨初選中無人與之抗衡可謂不戰而勝

Concurrently, State Senator Rick Brattin emerged triumphant in the Republican primary within the newly redrawn district.

與此同時州參議員里克·布拉廷在歷經重新劃分的選區內成功贏得共和黨初選的勝利

On the day of the primary election, the Republican Secretary of State, Danny Hoskins, categorically rejected a petition bearing thousands of signatures, which sought to compel a November referendum on the redistricting map.

在初選當日共和黨籍州務卿丹尼·霍斯金斯斷然拒絕了一份載有數千名簽署者的請願書該請願旨在強制推動針對選區地圖的十一月公民投票

Hoskins contended that the Missouri Constitution does not authorize a referendum on congressional redistricting matters.

霍斯金斯主張密蘇里州憲法並未授權就國會選區重劃事宜舉行公投

The lower courts upheld this ruling, yet the state Supreme Court ultimately overturned Hoskins's decision.

下級法院對此裁決表示認同州最高法院最終推翻了霍斯金斯的決定

The state supreme court ruled that the newly delineated districts had been retroactively frozen at the time the petition signatures were submitted last December, and thus had never possessed legal force.

州最高法院裁定新劃定的選區在去年十二月提交請願簽名之際即遭追溯性凍結始終未曾具有法律效力

On Tuesday, Hoskins, acting in compliance with the state court's directive, placed the redistricting referendum on the November ballot as Proposition A.

霍斯金斯於週二依據州法院之命令將選區重劃公投列為十一月選票上A提案

The Missouri Constitution does not explicitly stipulate that referenda may be applied to the redrawing of congressional districts;

密蘇里州憲法並未明文規定公民投票得適用於國會選區之重新劃分

However, the state's supreme court has already ruled that the constitutional provision permitting referenda on "any bill" passed by the legislature extends in its scope to legislation pertaining to the reapportionment of congressional districts.

該州最高法院業已裁示憲法中允許就立法機關所通過之任何法案舉行公民投票之條款其涵蓋範圍及於國會選區重劃之相關立法

Missouri stands as the second Republican-governed state, following Texas, to heed the call for congressional redistricting that Trump championed last year.

密蘇里州繼德克薩斯州之後第二個響應特朗普去年所倡議之國會選區重新劃分呼籲共和黨主政州屬

Several other states have since followed suit in kind.

其餘數州相繼仿效

Taking a panoramic view, the Republican camp had aspired to secure up to sixteen additional seats from the newly drawn House district maps across eight statesnamely Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama.

綜觀全局共和黨陣營曾冀望八個州——德克薩斯州密蘇里州北卡羅來納州俄亥俄州佛羅里達州田納西州路易斯安那州阿拉巴馬州——之新眾議院選區地圖斬獲至多十六席額外議席

The Democrats, by contrast, have seen their countermeasures repeatedly thwarted, yet they remain steadfast in their conviction that they can wrest as many as six seats from the redrawn districts of California and Utah.

反觀民主黨人其反制行動屢遭挫敗彼等堅信加利福尼亞州猶他州之新劃選區贏得多達六席之增益。

Whether the redrawing of electoral districts will yield the strategic dividends the Republicans anticipate remains a matter of considerable conjecture.

選區重劃能否如共和黨所預期般發揮其戰略效用尚屬未定之天

Viewed through the lens of historical precedent, the party holding the presidency is frequently consigned to forfeiting seats in the House of Representatives during midterm elections; moreover, Trump's flagging approval ratings are poised to erect even more formidable electoral hurdles for Republican contenders.

綜觀歷史脈絡執政黨於期中選舉之際往往難逃眾議院席次流失之宿命;特朗普低迷的民意支持度恐將為共和黨候選人增添更為棘手的選戰障礙
