华盛顿，5月4日（路透社）——美国最高法院周一允许其近期一项削弱《选举权法案》关键条款的裁决提前生效，这将为路易斯安那州共和党人在11月中期选举前推行新的国会选区投票地图提供支持。
尽管大法官们的此次行动属于程序性举措，但仍可能削弱路易斯安那州共和党人推迟该州国会初选、并寻求推出可能对共和党有利的新选区地图的裁决面临的挑战。

最高法院此举是为了回应一群自称“非非裔”的路易斯安那州选民的请求。这群选民在法庭文件中表示，他们发起的诉讼促成了4月29日以6票对3票作出的裁决，该裁决推翻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投票地图。该裁决削弱了《选举权法案》的一项关键条款，该条款此前禁止推出会削弱少数选民影响力的选举地图。
唐纳德·特朗普总统所在的共和党正力争在11月的选举中保住对众议院和参议院的控制权。

为了给败诉方留出申请重审的时间，最高法院通常会在正式裁决作出前等待32天。但胜诉方可以请求法院更快公布裁决，此次“非非裔”选民群体就提出了这样的请求。
州长杰弗·兰德里针对最高法院的裁决宣布进入紧急状态，并宣布将原定于5月16日举行的该州国会初选推迟。
兰德里的这一举措引发了诉讼。一些反对者除其他诉求外还辩称，州长宣布进入紧急状态超出了其权限范围，因为最高法院的裁决当时尚未生效。

WASHINGTON, May 4 (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday allowed its recent ruling that gutted a key part of the Voting Rights Act to take effect ahead of schedule, bolstering Louisiana Republicans as they pursue a new congressional voting map ahead of the November midterm elections.
The action by the justices, though procedural, potentially could undercut challenges to the decision by Louisiana Republicans to delay the state’s congressional primary elections and seek a new electoral map that could be beneficial to Republicans.

The court’s move came in response to a request from a group of Louisiana voters who described themselves in court papers as “non-African American” whose lawsuit led to the 6-3 ruling on April 29 striking down an electoral map that had given Louisiana a second Black-majority U.S. congressional district. The ruling gutted a key provision of the Voting Rights Act that had barred electoral maps that would result in diluting the clout of minority voters.
President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans are fighting to maintain their control of the House, as well as the Senate, in the November elections.

To give the losing side of a decision the chance to ask for a rehearing, the Supreme Court typically waits 32 days before its formal judgment is issued. But the prevailing party can ask the court to issue its judgment more quickly, as the “non-African American” voters did here.
Governor Jeff Landry responded to the court’s ruling by declaring an emergency and announcing he would postpone his state’s congressional primary elections that had been scheduled for May 16.
Landry’s move prompted lawsuits. Some challengers have argued, among other things, that the governor exceeded his authority to declare an emergency because the Supreme Court’s ruling had not yet taken effect.
