密苏里州法院因法官生病而推迟审理质疑新绘制的国会地图的诉讼案。 A Missouri court hearing on a lawsuit challenging the state’s newly drawn congressional map was postponed due to a judge’s illness. 由People Not Politicians提出的这个案例认为,国会投票后应启动全州全民公投,而无需总督签字,并收集了超过150 000份请愿书签名,其中92 000份被国务卿丹尼·霍斯金斯拒绝。 The case, brought by People Not Politicians, argues that a statewide referendum should be triggered after the legislature’s vote, bypassing the need for a governor’s signature, and claims over 150,000 petition signatures were collected—92,000 of which were rejected by Secretary of State Denny Hoskins. 全民公决若成功, 可能会将地图执行延迟至2026年11月。 If successful, the referendum could delay the map’s implementation until November 2026. 这场诉讼是对密苏里十年中期重新划分选区的五项法律挑战之一。 The lawsuit is one of five legal challenges to Missouri’s mid-decade redistricting, which redraws districts to favor Republicans. 另外两起案件的审判定于11月12日和25日进行,目前正在进行更广泛的国家努力,以影响众议院的代表。 Trials in two other cases are set for November 12 and 25, with broader national efforts underway to influence House representation.
