A panel of a federal appeals court considered an attempt on Thursday.

Un panel de un tribunal federal de apelaciones consideró el jueves un intento.

They wanted to bring back Missouri's new congressional districts.

Querían resucitar los nuevos distritos congresionales de Misuri.

These districts are supported by President Donald Trump.

Estos distritos son respaldados por el presidente Donald Trump.

The U.S. Supreme Court had blocked the use of those districts in the November elections.

La Corte Suprema de EE. UU. había bloqueado el uso de esos distritos en las elecciones de noviembre.

A three-judge panel of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments.

The dispute is long and is about whether the state should use the new districts.

La disputa es larga y trata sobre si el estado debe usar los nuevos distritos.

Republicans drew those districts.

Los republicanos trazaron esos distritos.

It was not clear right away what the impact would be.

No quedó claro de inmediato cuál sería el impacto.

This is true even if the panel ruled in favor of the new map.

Esto es cierto incluso si el panel fallara a favor del nuevo mapa.

The Supreme Court had already blocked an order from a lower court.

La Corte Suprema ya había bloqueado una orden de un tribunal inferior.

That order supported the map, while a possible appeal was pending.

Esa orden favorecía el mapa, a la espera de una posible apelación.

Currently, Missouri is scheduled to hold its November elections.

Actualmente, Misuri está programado para realizar sus elecciones de noviembre.

It would use the same congressional districts it used in 2024 and 2022.

Usaría los mismos distritos congresionales que usó en 2024 y 2022.

Local election officials said in a court filing that they are already printing ballots.

Funcionarios electorales locales dijeron en una presentación judicial que ya están imprimiendo boletas.

Those ballots use those districts.

Esas boletas usan esos distritos.

They face a Friday deadline under federal law.

They must mail absentee ballots to citizens overseas and military voters.

State law requires that ballots be ready for all other voters by next Tuesday.

La ley estatal exige que las boletas estén disponibles para todos los demás votantes antes del próximo martes.

The Missouri Association of County Clerks and Election Authorities made the filing. It said changing the districts now would be "practically impossible."

Según la presentación de la Asociación de Secretarios de Condado y Autoridades Electorales de Misuri, cambiar los distritos en esta fecha sería "prácticamente imposible".

It would also cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A lawyer for Republican Congressman Bob Onder and State Senator Rick Brattin suggested something to the judges.

Un abogado del congresista republicano Bob Onder y del senador estatal Rick Brattin sugirió algo a los jueces.

He said there is still time to return to the map supported by Trump.

Missouri Attorney General Lou Capozzi urged the panel to make a ruling.

El procurador general de Misuri, Lou Capozzi, instó al panel a dictaminar algo.

He said the U.S. Constitution does not allow this. A referendum petition cannot suspend a map approved by lawmakers.

The judges said they would rule quickly.
