密苏里州和其他共和党领导的州仅使用成年公民对重新划分投票区提起诉讼,对长期的总人口标准提出了挑战。 Missouri and other Republican-led states sue to redraw voting districts using only adult citizens, challenging the long-standing total population standard.

一些由共和党领导的州,包括密苏里州,对将立法区以总人口为基础这一长期要求提出了挑战,要求只使用成年公民绘制地图。 Some Republican-led states, including Missouri, are challenging the long-standing requirement to base legislative districts on total population, pushing instead for maps drawn using only adult citizens. 这种将非公民和儿童排除在外的转变可能有利于农村和白人地区,而不是城市和不同社区。 This shift, which would exclude noncitizens and children, could favor rural, whiter areas over urban, diverse communities. 密苏里的诉讼认为,计算非公民数字扭曲了“一人一票”原则,并寻求区块公民身份数据,而人口普查局可能无法及时为2030年人口普查提供这些数据。 Missouri’s lawsuit argues that counting noncitizens distorts the "one person, one vote" principle and seeks block-level citizenship data, which the Census Bureau may not provide in time for the 2030 census. 虽然共和党人期待党派优势,但研究表明,在许多州,影响可能有限。 While Republicans expect a partisan advantage, studies suggest the impact may be limited in many states. 最高法院没有就只对成年公民重新划分选区作出裁定,因此其合宪性不确定。 The Supreme Court has not ruled on adult-citizen-only redistricting, leaving its constitutionality uncertain. 这项努力是GOP试图限制关于公民身份的人口普查数据收集的更广泛努力的一部分,包括过去未果地试图增加公民身份问题。 The effort is part of broader GOP attempts to restrict census data collection on citizenship, including past failed attempts to add a citizenship question.
