密苏里州州长签署新国会选区地图 面临法律挑战
摘要
州长迈克·基霍签署了一份旨在增加共和党代表席位的新国会选区地图，但面临多起指控其违反宪法的法律挑战。
密苏里州州长迈克·基霍签署了一份新的国会选区地图，旨在通过针对民主党众议员伊曼纽尔·克利弗的选区来增强共和党的代表性。修订后的地图减少了克利弗堪萨斯城选区内的黑人和少数族裔居民数量，并将选区延伸至以共和党为主的农村地区。
此次重新划分选区引发了法律挑战。美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）和密苏里州全国有色人种协进会（NAACP）提起诉讼，声称此次中期重新划分选区违反了密苏里州宪法，该宪法规定只有在十年一次的人口普查后才允许重新划分选区。
此外，ACLU还认为新地图未能满足该州的紧凑性要求，因为它将堪萨斯城分割成多个选区，可能削弱该市居民的政治影响力。
反对者还在推动一项公投请愿，挑战新地图的合法性。他们必须在12月11日前收集约11万个有效签名，以暂停该地图的实施，等待全州投票决定。
基霍州长为重新划分选区辩护，称其目的是加强密苏里州在国会中的保守价值观代表性。
这些法律和政治挑战的结果将决定该地图的有效性及其对密苏里州在美国众议院代表权的影响。
