A federal judge in Missouri on Tuesday temporarily blocked the state from using its old congressional districts for the November election.

ミズーリ州の連邦判事は火曜日、11月の選挙に際し、州が旧下院選挙区を利用することを暫定的に差し止めた。

This action follows the U.S. Supreme Court's refusal to involve itself in a complex and contentious legal dispute.

これは、米国最高裁判所が、複雑かつ混乱を招く法的紛争への関与を拒否した後の措置である。

This ruling starkly illuminated the chaotic nature of the redistricting dispute that had persisted in Missouri for over a year.

この判決は1年以上にわたって続いたミズーリ州の選挙区再編をめぐる紛争の混沌とした性質をくっきりと浮かび上がらせた

This action by the federal court was taken immediately after the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that it would be impossible to use the new congressional redistricting map endorsed by President Donald Trump in the November election.

連邦裁判所によるこの措置はミズーリ州最高裁判所がドナルド・トランプ大統領が支持する新たな下院選挙区画定地図を11月の選挙において使用することは不可能であるとの判断を下した直後に講じられた

This stems from the fact that citizens submitted thousands of signatures in support of a petition calling for a statewide vote.

これは州全域での投票を求める請願に対し市民らが数千筆もの署名を提出したことに起因する

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

米国最高裁判所は火曜日ミズーリ州の共和党司法長官による上訴の受理を拒否し州最高裁判所が下した差し止め命令を支持する判断を下した

However, immediately thereafter, federal district judge Stephen Clark issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting Missouri from using any electoral map other than the newly drawn one backed by Republicans.

ところがその直後に連邦地方判事スティーブン・クラークが共和党が支持する新たな選挙区以外のものをミズーリ州が使用することを禁じる一時的差し止め命令を発出した

The new district boundaries were used in the August primary, and the winners have already been certified by the election authorities.

新しい選挙区8月の予備選使用され勝者はすでに選挙管理当局によって認定されている。

The question of which district boundaries will apply in the November general election continues to smolder unresolved.

11月の本選挙どの選挙区適用されるのかという論点は、依然として燻り続けている

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal from Missouri officials who had sought to use a new congressional district map backed by President Donald Trump in the November elections.

最高裁判所は火曜日、ドナルド・トランプ大統領が支援する新たな下院選挙区を11月の選挙で使用したいと望んでいたミズーリ州当局者からの上訴を退けた。

The ruling constitutes a significant setback for Republicans, who had hoped it would help them preserve their narrow majority in the House of Representatives.

この判決は僅差の下院過半数を維持する助けとなることを期待していた共和党にとって、痛手となる敗北である。

The justices upheld the Missouri Supreme Court's ruling that the new district boundaries had been automatically suspended by a citizen petition demanding a statewide vote.

判事らは州全体の投票を求める市民請願によって新たな選挙区割りが自動的に停止されたとするミズーリ州最高裁判所の判決を支持した

This ruling marks an unusual setback for the Republican Party in the nationwide redistricting battle that President Trump urged the party to initiate last year.

この判決はトランプ大統領が昨年共和党に開始するよう促した全国的な選挙区再編争いにおいて共和党にとって異例の後退となる

Although Missouri's new electoral map was applied in the August primary elections, the state's Supreme Court ruled in September that it was compelled to revert to the district boundaries adopted after the previous census.

ミズーリ州の新たな選挙区割り8月の予備選挙適用されたものの同州最高裁判所9月前回国勢調査の後に採択された区割りへと戻らざるを得ないとの判決を下した

Catherine Hanaway, the Republican state attorney general, appealed, arguing that altering voters' districts between the primary and general elections would infringe upon federal rights and could potentially cause confusion.

キャサリン・ハナウェイ共和党州司法長官上訴し予備選と本選挙の間に有権者の選挙区を変更することは連邦の権利を侵害するとともに混乱を招きかねないと主張した

Missouri is currently represented in the U.S. House of Representatives by six Republicans and two Democrats, all of whom were elected under district boundaries approved by Republican state officials in 2022.

ミズーリ州は現在米国下院において共和党議員6名と民主党議員2名によって代表されており彼らは2022年に共和党の州当局者が承認した選挙区割りに基づいて選出された

However, at the request of President Trump, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe last year convened a special session of the legislature to gain an advantage in the midterm elections, and pushed through a redrawing of electoral districts.

しかしトランプ大統領の要請を受けてミズーリ州知事マイク・キーホー昨年中間選挙を有利に進めるべく議会を特別会期に招集し選挙区の再編成を断行した

The revised redistricting targeted the 5th District, held by Emanuel Cleaver, a long-serving Democratic stalwart from Kansas City.

改訂された選挙区割りは、カンザスシティ選出の民主党重鎮長年在職するエマニュエル・クリーバー氏保持する第5選挙区標的にした

As a result, portions of Kansas City were absorbed into two adjacent Republican-held districts, while the remainder of Cleaver's district was extended deep into a Republican stronghold sprawling across the rural east.

その結果カンザスシティの一部共和党が代表する隣接する二つの選挙区へと組み込まれクリーバー氏の選挙区の残余部分は、東部の農村地帯広がる共和党の牙城まで延長されることとなった

Cleaver secured the Democratic nomination uncontested, as no challenger emerged to oppose him in the primary.

クリーバーは民主党予備選において対立候補が立たず無投票での当選を果たした。

Meanwhile, state senator Rick Brattin clinched victory in the Republican primary within the redrawn district.

一方州上院議員のリック・ブラッティンは再編成された選挙区で共和党予備選を制した

On the same day as the primary, Denny Hoskins, the Republican Secretary of State, rejected a petition bearing thousands of signatures that sought a November referendum on redistricting.

予備選と同日共和党所属の州務長官デニー・ホスキンスは、選挙区割りに関する11月の住民投票を求める数千人分の署名を伴う請願を却下した

Hoskins contended that the Missouri Constitution does not permit referenda on the redrawing of legislative districts.

ホスキンスはミズーリ州憲法が議会選挙区の再編成に関する住民投票を認めていないと主張した

Although the lower court concurred with this interpretation, the state supreme court overturned Hoskins's decision.

下級審この見解に同意したが、州最高裁判所ホスキンスの決定を覆した

The state supreme court ruled that the new redistricting had been suspended retroactively to December, when the petition signatures were submitted, and therefore never became law.

州最高裁判所は新しい選挙区割りが請願署名の提出があった12月に遡って効力を停止されしたがって法律にはならなかったと判断した

On Tuesday, Hoskins complied with the state court's order and assigned the referendum on redistricting to the November ballot as Proposition A.

ホスキンスは火曜日州裁判所の命令に従い再編成に関する住民投票を11月の投票用紙に提案Aとして割り当てた

The Missouri Constitution does not explicitly authorize the use of referendums for the redrawing of legislative districts.

ミズーリ州憲法は議会選挙区の再編成に住民投票を用いることを明確には認めていない。

However, the state supreme court ruled that the constitutional provision subjecting "every act" of the legislature to referendums also encompasses legislation for redistricting.

しかし州最高裁判所は議会の「あらゆる行為」を住民投票の対象とする憲法条項が選挙区再編成のための立法をも含むと判断した

Missouri was the second Republican-led state to comply with the congressional redistricting advocated by President Trump last year, with Texas having taken the lead.

ミズーリ州はトランプ大統領が昨年提唱した議会選挙区の再編成に応じた二番目の共和党主導州であり先陣を切ったのはテキサス州だった

Several other states followed suit.

他のいくつかの州もこれに続いた

Overall, the Republicans had set their sights on gaining up to sixteen seats from the new House district maps enacted in eight statesTexas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama.

全体として共和党は8つの州テキサス、ミズーリ、ノースカロライナ、オハイオ、フロリダ、テネシー、ルイジアナ、アラバマで可決された新たな下院選挙区割りから最大16議席を獲得することを目論んでいた

While their counteroffensive has encountered several setbacks, the Democrats anticipate securing up to six seats from the newly created districts in California and Utah.

反撃が幾度かの頓挫に直面する中、民主党はカリフォルニア州とユタ州の新設選挙区から最大6議席を確保し得ると見込んでいる。

Whether the redistricting will work as intended for the Republicans remains uncertain.

再編が共和党にとって意図した通りに機能するかどうかは、依然として不透明である

Historically, the president's party tends to lose House seats in midterm elections, and President Trump's low approval ratings could pose an additional hurdle for Republican candidates.

歴史的に見れば大統領の所属政党は中間選挙で下院議席を失う傾向がありトランプ大統領の低い支持率は共和党候補にとって更なる障壁となり得る。
