阿拉巴马州州长凯·艾维周五宣布，由共和党控制的州议会将于下周召开特别会议，为重划选区铺平道路——该州成为继最高法院削弱《选举权法案》的裁决出台后第二个采取行动的州。
共和党州长艾维在公告中表示，议员们将于周一开始召开会议，为“因法院裁决调整边界”的美国国会众议院和州参议院选区设立特别初选。该州原定初选日期为5月19日。
就在最高法院周三裁决废除路易斯安那州一个多数黑人选民占比的国会选区后，艾维曾表示阿拉巴马州不会试图重划选区边界。目前阿拉巴马州仍处于法院禁令中，禁止该州在2030年人口普查前进行重划选区工作。
但艾维和其他官员面临着要求采取行动的巨大压力。阿拉巴马州总检察长史蒂夫·马歇尔周四提交动议，请求最高法院尽快解除禁令，以便阿拉巴马州能够启动重划选区工作。
各州在11月中期选举前重划选区的行动对两党都事关重大。目前共和党在众议院仅以微弱优势占据多数，数月来两党在全国范围内展开了中期选举前的重划选区争夺战，以求获得党派优势。
重划选区通常每十年进行一次，在人口普查之后。
本周最高法院的裁决大幅提高了以歧视为由挑战重划选区计划的难度，此举引发了新一轮的重划选区竞赛。

艾维在一份声明中表示，她召开特别会议是希望该州能在法庭上胜诉。在法院下令增设第二个黑人人口占比较高的国会选区后，目前阿拉巴马州在美国众议院的席位分布为5名共和党议员和2名民主党议员。
就在艾维采取行动的前一天，路易斯安那州的共和党官员宣布推迟美国国会众议院的初选，尽管海外选票已经寄出。路易斯安那州官员表示，他们不会计算5月16日国会众议院席位选举的投票结果，因为州议会正在着手绘制新的选区地图。
选民、民权组织和其他团体已提起法律诉讼，试图阻止路易斯安那州的重划计划。

Alabama becomes second state to move to redraw maps after Supreme Court ruling

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Friday announced the Republican-controlled state legislature will hold a special session next week to pave the way for redistricting – becoming the second state to take action following the Supreme Court’s decision further weakening the Voting Rights Act.
Lawmakers will meet starting Monday to establish a special primary election for both US House and state Senate districts “whose boundary lines are altered by court action,” Ivey, a Republican, said in her proclamation.
The state’s primary election is slated for May 19.
In the immediate aftermath of the high court’s Wednesday ruling striking down a majority-Black congressional district in Louisiana, Ivey indicated that her state would not attempt to redraw its lines. Alabama currently is under a court order prohibiting the state from redistricting until after the 2030 census.
But Ivey and other officials have faced intense pressure to act. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall on Thursday filed motions asking the high court to move quickly to lift the injunctions so Alabama can proceed with redistricting.
State efforts to redraw their lines ahead of November’s midterm elections carry high stakes for both political parties. Republicans currently hold a paper-thin majority in the House, and both parties have waged a coast-to-coast mid-decade redistricting war for months, seeking to eke out a partisan advantage.
Redistricting typically occurs once a decade, after the census.
This week’s ruling from the Supreme Court – which makes it significantly harder to challenge redistricting plans as discriminatory – has set off a fresh redistricting scramble.

In a statement, Ivey said she is calling the special session in the hopes that the state will prevail in court. Alabama is currently represented in the US House by five Republicans and two Democrats, after courts ordered the creation of a second congressional district with a sizable Black population.
Ivey’s action comes a day after Republican officials in Louisiana announced that they were delaying the state’s primary elections for US House, although overseas ballots have already been mailed. Louisiana officials say they will not count votes cast in the May 16 election for US House seats, as the legislature looks to draw a new map.
Voters, civil rights organizations and other groups have filed legal challenges, seeking to block the Louisiana plan.
