美国最高法院第三次驳回了特朗普支持的密苏里州国会选区重划方案234。该方案由共和党推动，旨在帮助共和党从现有的6个国会议席增加到7个2。最高法院在无署名意见中表示，在进行中的选举中期下令恢复2025年地图将导致选举混乱2。密苏里州选举官员因此告知选民推迟投票，等待最高法院就该地图划分问题做出最终决定1。
密苏里州最高法院9月3日曾裁定，公民请愿书阻止新地图使用，除非先获得11月全民公投批准2。这一决定维持了密苏里州现行的选举安排，意味着该州选民将在2022年和2024年的相同国会选区投票2。约100多万名密苏里州潜在选民被转移到不同选区，占该州近四分之一2。至少16起诉讼已在州和联邦法院提交，涉及密苏里州国会重划2。缺席投票已于周二在2022年国会选区下进行2。
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a Republican-backed congressional redistricting plan in Missouri for the third time 3, blocking an effort to redraw districts that would have benefited the party 2. In an unsigned opinion, the Court stated that "ordering restoration of a 2025 map in the midst of an ongoing election would result in election chaos," declining to overturn Missouri's state supreme court decision 2.
The rejected map would have increased Republican representation in the state from six to seven congressional seats 2. The dispute stems from a citizen petition that prevented the new map's use unless first approved by voters in a November referendum, a requirement upheld by Missouri's highest court on September 3 2. The Supreme Court's decision means that Missouri voters will cast ballots in the same congressional districts for both 2022 and 2024 elections 2. Over one million potential Missouri voters had been shifted to different districts under the proposed map, representing nearly one-quarter of the state's electorate 2. The legal challenge has generated at least 16 lawsuits filed in state and federal courts 2.
