- 最高法院裁决预计将在全美引发党派操纵选区划分
- 共和党领导的州计划推出有利于本党的选区地图；民主党考虑在纽约州采取类似举措
- 纽约州重划国会选区需获得选民与州议会批准
华盛顿5月4日路透电 — 美国众议院最高阶民主党议员周一表示，他将敦促家乡纽约州重划国会选区，为民主党争取更多席位，以回应其他州共和党人发起的类似行动。
众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯的此番表态，意味着上周最高法院的一项裁决可能将美国带入一个公然按党派立场操纵选区划分的新时代，两党都将在11月的国会控制权争夺战中竭力争取优势。

阿拉巴马州、南卡罗来纳州、田纳西州和路易斯安那州的共和党州长均表示，将在最高法院裁决后推动通过更有利于本党的选区地图。该裁决使得根据一项标志性投票权法律，以种族歧视为由质疑选举地图变得更加困难。
杰弗里斯表示，众议院民主党同僚乔·莫雷尔将于周二与纽约州议员会面，讨论该州可能的重划选区事宜。
民主党目前掌控纽约州26个国会席位中的19个。但新地图必须获得选民以及州议会的批准，这意味着最早也要到2028年选举周期才能生效。

“这仅仅是开始，”杰弗里斯在一份声明中说道。“在全美范围内，我们将提起诉讼、重划选区并赢得胜利。众议院民主党绝不会允许‘让美国再次伟大’（MAGA）多数派依靠操纵选区地图和削弱黑人选民投票力量上台。”
在最高法院裁决公布前，已有多个共和党领导的州在唐纳德·特朗普总统的敦促下，重划了选区地图以最大化党派优势。包括加利福尼亚州和弗吉尼亚州在内的多个民主党领导的州，已推出新的选区地图作为回应。

- Supreme Court ruling expected to spur partisan gerrymandering nationwide
- Republican-led states plan favorable maps; Democrats consider similar moves in New York
- New York redistricting would require voter and legislature approval
WASHINGTON, May 4 (Reuters) – The top Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives said on Monday he would press his home state of New York to redraw its congressional districts to yield more seats for his party, in response to a similar effort by Republicans elsewhere.
The announcement by House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries indicated that a Supreme Court decision last week is likely to usher in a new era of nakedly partisan gerrymandering across the United States, as both parties press for advantages ahead of the November elections, in which control of Congress is at stake.

Republican governors of Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee and Louisiana have said they will try to push through maps more favorable to their party following the Supreme Court decision, which made it more difficult to challenge electoral maps as racially discriminatory under a landmark voting-rights law.
Jeffries said a fellow House Democrat, Joe Morelle, would meet with New York state lawmakers on Tuesday to discuss a possible redistricting in that state as well.
Democrats hold 19 of the state’s 26 congressional seats. But a map would have to be approved by voters as well as the state legislature, which means it wouldn’t be in effect until the 2028 cycle at the earliest.

“This is just the beginning,” Jeffries said in a statement. “Across the nation, we will sue, we will redraw and we will win. House Democrats will not allow a MAGA majority to be built on rigged maps and the dilution of Black voting strength.”
Ahead of the Supreme Court ruling, several Republican-led states had already redrawn their maps to maximize their partisan advantage, at the urging of President Donald Trump. Several Democratic-led states, including California and Virginia, have responded with new maps of their own.
