亚特兰大 美联社电——
佐治亚州共和党议会领导人周三否决了州长布莱恩·坎普在特别会议上重划国会及州议会选区的诉求，理由是在美国最高法院一项削弱联邦《投票权法案》对少数族裔选民保护的裁决后，此举过于仓促。
州众议院议长乔恩·伯恩斯在周三特别会议召开前数小时向坎普发送了一封信件，并在示威者高呼“黑人选民重要！”、挤满佐治亚州议会大厦之际宣布了这一决定。
这一决定对坎普和唐纳德·特朗普总统均造成打击，后者此前曾敦促共和党主政的州重划国会选区以谋求党派优势。目前已有10个州在11月中期选举前敲定了新的国会选区划分方案。佐治亚州本会成为首个为2028年选举调整选区的州。
伯恩斯表示，在最高法院就“路易斯安那州诉卡莱案”作出裁决后，议员们希望谨慎行事。该案裁定路易斯安那州的国会选区地图属于非法种族分选区，并为其他南部州重划国会选区铺平了道路。伯恩斯称，议员们更应专注于经济事务，而非“党派游戏”。他还提及佐治亚州现有选区正面临未决诉讼，以及该州需要全面了解在选区重划中可以或不得如何考量种族因素的全部影响。
共和党议会领导人并未排除在今年晚些时候重新审议选区重划事宜。
少数族裔投票权在佐治亚州尤为关键，该州议会大厦内矗立着马丁·路德·金牧师的雕像，且距离这位遇刺民权领袖生活、布道并领导催生1965年《投票权法案》运动的地点仅数个街区。
佐治亚州共和党人未必能从潜在的新选区方案中如愿以偿。
党派分选区操作指的是重新分配选民——将特定群体的选民集中到更少选区，或将其分散到更多选区。在亚特兰大都会区，将非白人、倾向民主党的选民分散到更多选区，可能会让更多席位看起来倾向共和党。但此举也存在风险：由于白人都会区选民的保守倾向正在减弱，可能会出现更多摇摆选区，这将让任何种族或族裔的民主党候选人都有更多获胜机会。
在佐治亚州参议院这一已被认定为共和党分选区的议会中，这或许不是主要因素。但在绘制州众议院和美国众议院选区地图时，这可能是一个需要考量的问题。
坎普实际上是在要求共和党人，尤其是亚特兰大都会区的共和党议员，重新划分自己的选区边界，涉足全新且不熟悉的领域。
Georgia Republican legislative leaders reject governor’s call for 2028 redistricting

Atlanta AP—
Georgia’s Republican legislative leaders on Wednesday rejected Gov. Brian Kemp’s call to redraw congressional and legislative districts during a special session, citing concerns about moving too quickly after a US Supreme Court decision weakened federal Voting Rights Act protections for minority voters.
House Speaker Jon Burns sent Kemp a letter hours before a special session was set to begin Wednesday, and he announced the decision as demonstrators filled the Georgia Capitol with chants of “Black voters matter!”
The decision marked a setback for both Kemp and President Donald Trump, who has urged Republican-led states to redraw congressional districts to their advantage. Ten states already have enacted new congressional districts ahead of the November midterm elections. Georgia would have been the first to change districts for the 2028 elections.
Burns said lawmakers want to take their time after the court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which struck down Louisiana’s congressional map as an illegal racial gerrymander and laid the groundwork for other Southern states to redraw their congressional districts. Burns said it was more important for lawmakers to focus on economic matters rather than “partisan games.” He also cited pending litigation over existing Georgia districts and the need for the state to understand the full ramifications for how race can or cannot be used in redistricting.
Republican legislative leaders did not rule out revisiting redistricting later this year.
Minority voting rights are especially salient in Georgia, where the Capitol complex includes a statue of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and sits blocks from where the slain civil rights icon lived, preached and led the movement that yielded the Voting Rights Act in 1965.
It’s not guaranteed that Georgia Republicans can get what they want from potential new maps.
Partisan gerrymandering involves redistributing voters — packing certain citizens into fewer districts or dividing them across more districts. Around metro Atlanta, spreading non-White, Democratic-leaning voters across more districts could make more seats seem to lean Republican. The risk, however, is that more battleground districts emerge because White metropolitan voters are trending less conservative, which could give Democratic candidates of any race or ethnicity more chances to win.
That’s perhaps not a major factor in the Georgia state Senate, which already is considered gerrymandered for Republicans. But it could be a consideration when drawing state House and US House maps.
Kemp was effectively asking Republicans, especially in metro Atlanta, to redraw their own boundaries and take on new, unfamiliar territory.
