密苏里州州长签署新国会选区图引发法律挑战
摘要
州长迈克·基霍签署了一份新的国会选区图，旨在增加共和党代表席位，而反对者则采取法律行动并推动可能的公投。
密苏里州州长迈克·基霍于周日签署了一份新的国会选区图，旨在加强共和党在美国众议院的代表性。该选区图被称为“密苏里优先图”，设计目的是让共和党在该州八个国会选区中的七个占据优势。
这一重新划分计划因可能影响堪萨斯城民主党众议员伊曼纽尔·克利弗的选区而受到批评。新边界将克利弗的选区扩展到传统上支持共和党的农村地区。
反对者正积极寻求挑战这一新选区图。一个名为“密苏里人民非政治家”组织已向州务卿办公室提交了一份公投申请，试图将该选区图交由选民表决。此外，还发起了多起诉讼，其中包括密苏里美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）提起的诉讼，称该选区图违反了州宪法关于选区紧凑性和平等人口分布的要求。
基霍州长为重新划分辩护，表示该选区图确保了密苏里州的保守价值观在各级政府中得到体现。
此次新选区图的签署使密苏里州与德克萨斯州和加利福尼亚州等其他州保持一致，这些州也在2026年中期选举前进行了十年中期的重新划分，以影响国会代表席位。
