密苏里州最高法院审理立法者是否可以在没有新人口普查数据的情况下重新划定国会选区,冒着民主党主要据点的风险。 Missouri’s Supreme Court hears if lawmakers can redraw congressional districts without new census data, risking a key Democratic stronghold.

密苏里州最高法院于2026年3月10日听取了关于州立法机关是否可以在没有新的人口普查数据的情况下重新划分国会选区的论点,重点是一张共和党绘制的地图,该地图分割了堪萨斯市,以削弱民主党的据点。 The Missouri Supreme Court heard arguments on March 10, 2026, over whether the state legislature can redraw congressional districts without new census data, focusing on a Republican-drawn map that splits Kansas City to weaken a Democratic stronghold. 原告辩称,州宪法只有在每次人口普查之后才要求重新划分地区,而州官员保持立法权,有权采取十年中期的行动。 Plaintiffs argue the state constitution requires redistricting only after each census, while state officials maintain the legislature has authority to act mid-decade. 该案可以确定地图的合法性,为密苏里将来重新划分地区开创先例,预计数周后将作出决定。 The case could determine the map’s legality and set a precedent for future redistricting in Missouri, with a decision expected in several weeks.
