4月29日（路透社）——据《华盛顿邮报》援引两名知情人士的话报道，路易斯安那州州长杰夫·兰德利周三对共和党众议院候选人表示，他计划暂停下月的初选，以便州议员通过新的国会选区地图。
《华盛顿邮报》的报道称，这位共和党州长最早可能于周五宣布暂停5月16日的初选，距离提前投票开始仅差一天。

路透社无法立即核实这一报道。兰德利没有立即回复路透社的置评请求。
兰德利此举的背景是美国最高法院以6票对3票的裁决，否决了此前为路易斯安那州增设第二个非裔占多数的美国国会选区的地图方案。非裔约占路易斯安那州人口的三分之一，该州共有6个美国众议院选区。
最高法院的裁决削弱了《投票权法案》的一项关键条款，使得少数族裔依据这项标志性民权法律质疑选举地图存在种族歧视的难度加大。
随着11月国会选举临近，这一裁决可能会鼓励共和党领导的州寻求重划选举地图，此举可能会危及原本被认为稳固的民主党众议院席位。非裔选民通常支持民主党候选人。

最高法院发布该裁决之际，美国各地由共和党州长领导的州和由民主党主导的州正围绕重划选举地图展开博弈，以期在11月选举前改变美国众议院选区的构成，获取党派优势。
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普及其 fellow 共和党同僚希望保住共和党在参众两院的微弱多数席位。

April 29 (Reuters) – Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry told Republican House candidates on Wednesday that he planned to suspend next month’s primary elections to allow state lawmakers to pass a new congressional map, the Washington Post reported, citing two people with knowledge of the calls.
The Republican governor’s announcement to suspend the May 16 primary could come as early as Friday, a day before early voting is set to start, the Washington Post report said.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Landry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Landry’s move follows a 6-3 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that blocked an electoral map that had given Louisiana a second Black-majority U.S. congressional district. Black people make up roughly a third of the population of Louisiana, which has six U.S. House districts.
The Supreme Court ruling gutted a key provision of the Voting Rights Act making it harder for minorities to challenge electoral maps as racially discriminatory under the landmark civil rights law.
With November congressional elections looming, the decision could encourage Republican-led states to seek to redraw electoral maps in an effort that could put at risk U.S. House of Representatives seats considered safely Democratic. Black voters tend to support Democratic candidates.

The Supreme Court issued its ruling as Republican-governed and Democratic-led states around the country battle over the redrawing of electoral maps to change the composition of U.S. House districts for partisan advantage ahead of the November elections.
U.S. President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans hope to retain the party’s razor-thin majorities in the House and Senate.
