4月22日(路透社)——弗吉尼亚州一家法院于周三叫停了一份经选民通过的、由民主党主导绘制的新国会选区地图,该地图可能会在11月的中期选举中让美国众议院的4个共和党席位易主。

塔兹韦尔县的法院称周二的公投无效,阻止该州采取任何行动实施新的选区划分方案。美国共和党全国委员会就此公投提起诉讼。

弗吉尼亚州总检察长杰伊·琼斯表示,其办公室将就该裁决提起上诉。

“正如我昨晚所言,弗吉尼亚州选民已经表达了意愿,一名激进法官无权否决人民的投票。我们期待在法庭上捍卫昨晚选举的结果,”琼斯在X平台的一篇帖子中说道。

April 22 (Reuters) – A Virginia court on Wednesday ​halted a new Democratic-drawn congressional ‌map approved by voters that could flip four Republican seats in the ​U.S. House of Representatives ​in November’s midterm elections.

The court ⁠in Tazewell County said ​Tuesday’s referendum was invalid, blocking the ​state from taking any action to enact the new districts. The ​Republican National Committee sued to ​block the referendum.

Virginia Attorney General Jay ‌Jones ⁠said his office would appeal the ruling.

“As I said last night, Virginia voters have spoken, ​and ​an activist ⁠judge should not have veto power over ​the People’s vote. We ​look ⁠forward to defending the outcome of last night’s election in ⁠court,” ​Jones said in ​a post on X.
