A federal judge in Missouri issued a temporary injunction on Tuesday, barring the state from using its previous congressional district map in the November elections, following the U.S. Supreme Court's refusal to intervene in this intricate and legally contentious tug-of-war.

密苏里州的一名联邦法官周二颁布临时禁令阻止该州在11月选举中沿用旧有的国会选区划分此前美国最高法院拒绝介入这场错综复杂、充满法律纠纷的拉锯战

These rulings amply underscore the intricate complexity of Missouri's redistricting dispute, a contest that has now persisted for over a year.

这些决定充分揭示密苏里州选区重划之争错综复杂这场博弈已持续逾一年之久

The federal court's ruling came just days after the Missouri Supreme Court determined that the state could not use the new U.S. House district map endorsed by President Donald Trump in the November election, owing to the submission of thousands of petition signatures by citizens calling for a statewide referendum on the matter.

联邦法院的裁决是在密苏里州最高法院裁定该州不得在十一月大选中采用总统唐纳德·特朗普所支持的新版美国众议院选区地图之后数日作出的,缘由是公民递交了数千份请愿签名要求就该事宜举行全州范围的公投

On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed an appeal by Missouri's Republican attorney general, thereby upholding the injunction issued by the state's highest court.

美国最高法院周二驳回了密苏里州共和党总检察长的上诉从而维持了该州最高法院的禁令

However, immediately thereafter, U.S. District Judge Stephen Clark issued a temporary restraining order, barring Missouri from adopting any redistricting plan other than the one backed by the Republicans.

然而紧接着美国地区法官斯蒂芬·克拉克却颁布了一项临时限制令禁止密苏里州采用共和党支持的新选区划分方案之外的任何其他选区

The new districts were already in use during the August primary, and the winners have been officially certified by election officials.

新选区已于八月初选阶段投入使用获胜者亦已获选举官员正式认证

Nevertheless, the question of which districting plan will govern the November general election remains unresolved to this day.

然而十一月大选将依据何种选区划分方案进行,这一议题至今悬而未决

The following is the content of a report previously issued by the Associated Press.

美联社先前所发布报道内容如下

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal from Missouri officials who had sought to implement new congressional district boundaries endorsed by President Donald Trump for the November election, a setback for Republicans who had counted on the revised map to help them retain their precarious narrow majority in the House of Representatives.

最高法院周二驳回了密苏里州官员的上诉他们原本希望在11月选举中采用总统唐纳德·特朗普支持的新国会选区划分这对共和党人而言是一次挫败,因为他们曾指望新地图能助其保住众议院中岌岌可危的微弱多数席位

The justices upheld the ruling of the Missouri Supreme Court, which determined that the newly drawn districts had been automatically suspended from taking effect due to a citizen petition calling for a statewide referendum.

法官们维持了密苏里州最高法院的裁决该裁决认定公民请愿要求全州公投新划定的选区已自动暂缓生效

This ruling marks a rare setback for the Republican Party in the nationwide redistricting contest, a campaign that Trump vigorously urged Republicans to undertake last year.

这一裁决标志着共和党在全国选区重划博弈中一次罕见的挫败,而这场博弈正是去年特朗普力促共和党人发起的。

Missouri's new redistricting plan had already been implemented for the August primary, yet in September the state's supreme court ruled that the district boundaries must revert to those adopted following the previous census.

密苏里州的新选区划分方案在八月初选时已付诸实施,然而该州最高法院于九月裁定,必须恢复至上次人口普查后所采用的选区格局。

The Republican state attorney general, Catherine Hanaway, who lodged the appeal, contended that redrawing electoral districts between the primary and general elections would inevitably infringe upon voters' fundamental rights.

提起上诉的共和党州总检察长凯瑟琳·哈纳威辩称在初选与普选之间重新划分选区势必侵犯选民的基本权利

She further asserted that such a move would also precipitate chaos in the electoral process.

继而指出此举亦将引发选举秩序的混乱

Missouri currently holds six Republican and two Democratic seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, with these lawmakers having been elected under the redistricting plan approved by Republican state officials in 2022.

密苏里州目前在美国众议院拥有六名共和党籍议员两名民主党籍议员这些议员是在共和党州官员于2022年批准的选区划分方案当选的

However, under pressure from Trump, Missouri's Governor Mike Kehoe convened a special session of the legislature last year, aiming to redraw congressional district boundaries on the eve of the midterm elections to benefit his own party.

然而,在特朗普的施压之下,密苏里州州长迈克·基霍于去年召集立法机构召开特别会议,意图在中期选举前夕重新划分国会选区边界,以谋取本党利益。

The revised redistricting plan targets the Fifth Congressional District, which has long been held by Emanuel Cleaver, a senior Democratic congressman from Kansas City.

修订后的选区划分方案针对第五国会选区该选区长期堪萨斯城的资深民主党众议员伊曼纽尔·克利弗把持

This plan carves out portions of Kansas City into two adjacent Republican-controlled districts, while simultaneously extending the remainder of Cleaver's district eastward, deep into the Republican heartland of rural areas.

此方案堪萨斯城的部分区域划入邻近两个由共和党控制的选区同时克利弗所在选区的剩余部分向东延伸深入农村地区的共和党腹地

Cleaver won the Democratic primary without any contest, facing no opposition whatsoever.

克利弗在民主党初选中毫无悬念地胜出未遇任何对手

Meanwhile, State Senator Rick Brattin successfully secured the Republican primary nomination in the redrawn district.

与此同时州参议员里克·布拉廷在重新划分的选区中成功赢得了共和党初选的提名

On primary day, Republican Secretary of State Danny Hoskins rejected a petition bearing thousands of signatures, which sought to force a statewide referendum on the redistricting plan in November.

在初选当日共和党籍州务卿丹尼·霍斯金斯驳回了载有数千人签名的请愿书该请愿旨在推动就该选区划分方案于十一月举行全民公投

Hoskins insisted that the Missouri Constitution provided no legal basis for a referendum on congressional district boundaries.

霍斯金斯坚称密苏里州宪法并未赋予对国会选区区划进行公投的法律依据

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

下级法院对此表示认同然而州最高法院最终推翻了霍斯金斯的裁决

The state's highest court ruled that the new districts had been retroactively frozen as of December, when the petition signatures were submitted, and thus had never formally taken effect as law.

该州最高法院裁定新选区在十二月提交请愿签名时即被追溯性冻结因而从未正式生效成为法律

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

霍斯金斯于周二遵照州法院指令将重新划分选区的公投列为十一月投票中的提案A

The Missouri Constitution does not explicitly stipulate that referendums may be employed for the redrawing of congressional districts, yet the state's highest court has pointed out that the constitutional provision permitting referendums on "any act" of the legislature extends its scope to encompass such legislation.

密苏里州宪法并未明文规定公投可用于国会选区的重新划分州最高法院指出宪法中允许对立法机构任何法案进行公投的条款,其适用范围涵盖此类立法

Missouri became the second Republican-dominated state, following Texas, to heed Trump's call from the previous year to redraw congressional districts, with several other states following suit.

密苏里州成为继得克萨斯州之后第二个响应特朗普去年重新划分国会选区号召共和党主导州其他数州亦纷纷效仿

Overall, Republicans had hoped to secure up to sixteen additional seats from the new House district maps enacted in eight states: Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama.

总体而言共和党人曾寄望于在得克萨斯州、密苏里州、北卡罗来纳州、俄亥俄州、佛罗里达州、田纳西州、路易斯安那州及阿拉巴马州这八个州颁布的新众议院选区图最多斩获十六个额外席位

The Democrats' counteroffensive, by contrast, met with repeated setbacks, as they believed they could gain at most six additional seats from the new redistricting in California and Utah.

民主党人的反击屡遭挫败他们自认为能从加利福尼亚州与犹他州的新选区划分赢得至多六个额外席位

It remains uncertain whether the redrawing of district boundaries will truly yield the results Republicans anticipate.

目前尚不明朗重新划分选区是否真能如共和党人所预期的那样奏效

Historically, the president's party tends to lose House seats in midterm elections, and Trump's flagging approval ratings may further impede Republican candidates.

从历史规律来看总统所属政党往往会在中期选举中丧失众议院席位特朗普低迷的支持率可能进一步为共和党候选人增添阻碍
