最高法院为新的阿拉巴马州选举选区方案扫清障碍
据福克斯新闻报道，最高法院以6票赞成、3票反对的裁决为阿拉巴马州实施新的国会选区方案铺平道路，这将给共和党带来显著优势。前白宫副幕僚长卡尔·罗夫详细解读了备受争议的第二选区方案设计。加州大学伯克利分校法学教授约翰·俞随后就索尼娅·索托马约尔大法官的异议意见发表看法，该异议认为该方案稀释了黑人选民的投票权，违反了第十四修正案。

最高法院周二为阿拉巴马州共和党赢得一场胜利，下达紧急命令，允许该州在11月的中期选举中使用大概率有利于共和党的国会选区方案。
大法官们批准了阿拉巴马州的紧急上诉，允许其使用2023年州议会通过的选区方案，该方案在本次选举周期中仅设置一个黑人选民占多数的选区。法院的三名自由派大法官投下了反对票。
阿拉巴马州共和党曾试图恢复此前被否决的选区方案，该方案预计将帮助共和党额外拿下一个国会席位：将此前法院划定的、曾选出一位黑人民主党议员的阿拉巴马南部选区，替换为仅包含一个黑人选民占多数选区的方案。
此次裁决出台前，最高法院上月撤销了下级法院阻止阿拉巴马州2023年国会选区方案的裁决，并将案件发回重审。然而上周，一个由三名法官组成的联邦合议庭再次否决了共和党支持的选区方案，命令阿拉巴马州继续使用法院划定的选区方案，该方案包含两个黑人选民占多数或有机会选出其支持候选人的选区。

共和党州长凯·艾维周二晚间对这一裁决表示庆祝，并确认阿拉巴马州8月11日的特别初选将按照2023年的选区方案进行。
“美国最高法院证实了我一直以来的观点，那就是阿拉巴马州最了解本州、本州民众和本州的选区，”艾维在一份声明中说道。
“今天的裁决是阿拉巴马州人民和我们选举的胜利，”她继续说道，“阿拉巴马州正在尽自己的一份力量让美国保持强大，我为我们州继续战斗感到自豪，确保激进分子不会拥有最终决定权。”

“8月11日投票站见！”艾维补充道。
这场重划选区的争端发生之际，总统唐纳德·特朗普鼓励共和党领导的州在最高法院作出卡莱斯案裁决后重新绘制国会选区地图，该裁决限制了国会选区重划中对种族因素的使用。阿拉巴马州辩称，下级法院的补救性选区方案不适当地将种族置于传统选区划分原则之上，而投票权组织则认为该州的方案稀释了黑人选民的投票力量。
在一份未署名的多数意见中，法院写道：“该州还有力证明了其将遭受不可弥补的损害，且衡平原则和公共利益都支持其诉求。”

“我们曾多次告诫下级联邦法院，不要‘在选举前夕修改选举规则’，”多数方补充道。
在一份异议意见中，索尼娅·索托马约尔大法官认为该方案歧视阿拉巴马州黑人。
“摆在法院面前有两条路，”索托马约尔写道，“一条路是有序的选举，在久经考验的国会选区方案下举行，该方案保护阿拉巴马州黑人的投票权，且所有选民、选举官员和候选人都对此熟悉。”

“另一条路则是混乱的选举，在一个从未使用过的国会选区方案下举行，该方案故意歧视阿拉巴马州黑人，是阿拉巴马州公然违抗本院此前直接确认的法院命令而通过的，而且充其量也只给官员们留出了短短几天时间来更改数十万选民的选民登记信息，而阿拉巴马州此前曾表示这项任务需要数月时间，”她继续说道。
“多数方选择了第二条路，无视了民主价值观和法治，”她补充道。
美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）也批评了这项裁决，认为它允许阿拉巴马州使用带有种族歧视的选区方案。
“今天的裁决推迟了选民获得救济的时间，这些选民多年来一直在争取平等机会，以选出他们支持的候选人并让自己的声音被听到，”美国公民自由联盟投票权项目副主任戴维恩·罗斯伯勒在一份声明中说道。

“我们仍将致力于为我们的客户和阿拉巴马州黑人争取国会中的平等机会，”他补充道。“即使面对那些继续改变规则、破坏我国作为多种族民主国家实现其承诺的进步的人，我们也将为这些权利而战。”

Supreme Court allows Alabama GOP-backed congressional map for midterms

The ruling clears the way for the state’s Aug. 11 special primary under the 2023 legislature-adopted map

Supreme Court clears way for new Alabama election map
The Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling clears the way for Alabama to implement a new congressional map, giving Republicans a significant advantage, Fox News reports. Karl Rove, former White House Deputy Chief of Staff, details the controversial second district map’s design. John Yoo, a UC Berkeley Law Professor, then addresses Justice Sotomayor’s dissent, which argues the map violates the 14th Amendment by diluting Black voters’ power.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday gave Alabama Republicans a victory, issuing an emergency order that the state can use a congressional map likely to benefit the GOP in November’s midterm elections.
The justices granted Alabama’s emergency appeal to use a map adopted by the state legislature in 2023 that includes a single majority-Black district for this election cycle. The court’s three liberal justices dissented.
Alabama Republicans had sought to revive the previously blocked map, which is expected to give the GOP an opportunity to gain an additional congressional seat by replacing a court-drawn south Alabama district that helped elect a Black Democrat with a map that contains only one majority-Black district.
The ruling came after the Supreme Court last month vacated a lower court ruling blocking Alabama’s 2023 congressional map and sent the case back for further review. Last week, however, a three-judge federal panel again blocked the GOP-backed map and ordered Alabama to continue using a court-drawn map containing two districts in which Black voters are a majority or have an opportunity to elect their preferred candidates.

Republican Gov. Kay Ivey celebrated the ruling Tuesday evening and confirmed that Alabama’s Aug. 11 special primary election would be conducted under the 2023 map.
“The U.S. Supreme Court confirmed what I have said all along and that is that Alabama knows our state, our people and our districts best,” Ivey said in a statement.
“Today’s decision is a win for the people of Alabama and our elections,” she continued. “Alabama is doing our part to keep America strong, and I am proud our state continues to fight the fight to ensure activists do not get the final say.”

“I will see y’all at the polls August 11!” Ivey added.
The redistricting fight comes as President Donald Trump has encouraged Republican-led states to redraw congressional maps following the Supreme Court’s Callais decision, which limited the use of race in congressional redistricting. Alabama argued that the lower court’s remedial map improperly elevated race over traditional districting principles, while voting-rights groups argued that the state’s map diluted Black voting power.
In an unsigned majority opinion, the court wrote: “The State has also made a strong showing of irreparable harm and that the equities and public interest favor it.”

“We have repeatedly cautioned that lower federal courts should not “alter the election rules on the eve of an election,” the majority added.
In a dissenting opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor argued that the map discriminates against Black Alabamians.
“Before the Court are two paths,” Sotomayor wrote. “Down one lies an orderly election, held under a tried-and-tested congressional map that protects Black Alabamians’ right to vote and with which all voters, elections officials, and candidates alike are familiar.”

“Down the other lies a chaotic election, held under a never-before-used congressional map that intentionally discriminates against Black Alabamians, that Alabama adopted in unashamed defiance of a prior court order directly affirmed by this Court, and that will require officials to change the voter registrations of hundreds of thousands of voters in just days at best, a task that Alabama previously represented would take months,” she continued.
“The majority chooses the second path and disregards both democratic values and the rule of law.” she added.
The ACLU also criticized the ruling, arguing it permits Alabama to use a racially discriminatory map.
“Today’s ruling delays relief for voters who have already spent years fighting for an equal opportunity to elect candidates of their choice and to have their voices heard,” Davin Rosborough, deputy director of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project, said in a statement.

“We remain committed to pursuing equal opportunities in Congress for our clients and Black Alabamians,” he added. “We will fight for those rights even in the face of those who continue to move the goalposts and undo our nation’s progress in realizing its promise as a multi-racial democracy.”
