美国最高法院周二驳回了密苏里州官员的上诉，拒绝批准该州在11月选举中使用新的众议院选区地图1。该地图曾获得唐纳德·特朗普的支持。密苏里州最高法院此前裁定，由于公民请愿要求全州投票，新选区地图必须自动暂停1，联邦最高法院维持了这一决定。
密苏里州共和党州检察长凯瑟琳·汉纳威曾辩称，在初选和大选之间切换选区违反了联邦权利1。新地图主要针对第5国会选区，该区长期由民主党代表埃曼努尔·克莱弗代表1。克莱弗在民主党初选中无对手，而共和党人里克·布拉廷在重新划分的选区中赢得共和党初选1。
这一裁决对寻求通过重划选区维持众议院微弱多数的共和党人来说是一次挫折1。密苏里州目前在众议院有6名共和党人和2名民主党人，他们是在2022年批准的选区下当选的1。共和党人原本希望从在德克萨斯州、密苏里州、北卡罗来纳州、俄亥俄州、佛罗里达州、田纳西州、路易斯安那州和阿拉巴马州制定的新众议院地图中赢得多达16个额外席位1。
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined Missouri's appeal seeking to implement a new congressional district map supported by Donald Trump for the upcoming November elections 1. The justices upheld a Missouri Supreme Court ruling that suspended the new map after citizens petitioned for a statewide vote on the redistricting plan 1.
The decision represents a setback for Republicans hoping to strengthen their narrow House majority through the redrawn districts 1. Missouri's Republican Attorney General Catherine Hanaway had argued that switching district maps between the primary and general elections would violate federal law, but the Court rejected this challenge 1. The state currently holds six Republican and two Democratic House seats, all elected under the districts approved in 2022 1. The new map specifically targeted the 5th Congressional District, long represented by Democrat Emanuel Cleaver, who ran unopposed in the Democratic primary 1. Republican Rick Brattin won the GOP primary in the redrawn district 1. Republicans had hoped to gain up to 16 additional seats nationwide from new House maps adopted across eight states—Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama 1.
