4月28日（路透社）——弗吉尼亚州最高法院周二维持了一名县法官的裁决，暂时禁止州政府认证上周公投的结果。此前弗吉尼亚州选民批准了一项由民主党主导绘制的新国会选区地图，该地图旨在拿下共和党把持的4个美国众议院席位。
此次裁决是共和党针对该投票提案提起的三起诉讼之一的进展，但并非此次选举的最终定论。弗吉尼亚州最高法院周一就民主党发起公投时是否符合法律要求的另一桩诉讼听取了辩论，但尚未就任何一起案件作出最终判决。

若该投票提案得以生效，民主党在弗吉尼亚州11个美国众议院选区中的优势席位将从目前的6比5，增至11个中的10个，在11月的中期选举中占据极大优势。民主党需要拿下共和党把持的3个席位，才能获得众议院多数席位，打破共和党对华盛顿的一统控制。
弗吉尼亚州的这场斗争是唐纳德·特朗普总统去年夏天发起的全国重划选区大战的一部分。当时特朗普敦促德克萨斯州共和党人推出新的国会选区地图，瞄准5名民主党在任议员。随后其他红蓝两党主导的州纷纷效仿。

佛罗里达州似乎是本月前唯一一个打算在11月前重划选区的州。共和党议员准备于周三就批准由州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯办公室起草的新地图进行投票，该地图旨在拿下4个民主党席位。
如果弗吉尼亚州的公投被否决，且德桑蒂斯的计划取得成功，那么在这场持续数月的重划选区军备竞赛后，共和党将额外斩获约7个席位。
周二弗吉尼亚州的这项裁决出自共和党全国委员会提起的一起诉讼。上周三，也就是选举结束次日，塔兹韦尔县的一名法官裁定该公投非法，并禁止州政府官员认证选举结果。
弗吉尼亚州民主党总检察长杰伊·琼斯提起了上诉，但州最高法院周二驳回了他的请求。

April 28 (Reuters) – Virginia’s top court on Tuesday left in place a county judge’s order temporarily blocking the state from certifying the results of last week’s referendum, when voters approved a new Democratic-drawn congressional map aimed at flipping four Republican U.S. House seats.
The ruling, which came in one of three lawsuits Republicans have filed challenging the ballot measure, is not the last word on the election. The Virginia Supreme Court heard arguments in another lawsuit on Monday over whether Democrats complied with legal requirements when initiating the referendum, but it has not yet reached a final decision in any of the cases.

If allowed to stand, the ballot measure would give Democrats the advantage in 10 of the state’s 11 U.S. House of Representatives districts in November’s midterm elections, up from the party’s current 6-5 edge. Democrats need to flip three Republican-held seats to gain a House majority and break Republicans’ unified control of Washington.
The fight in Virginia is part of a national redistricting battle that President Donald Trump launched last summer, when he pushed Texas Republicans to install a new congressional map targeting five Democratic incumbents. Other states, both Republican- and Democratic-led, soon followed.

Florida appears to be the final state intent on redrawing its districts ahead of November. Republican lawmakers are preparing to vote on Wednesday on whether to approve a new map, drawn by Governor Ron DeSantis’ office, that is intended to flip four Democratic seats.
If Virginia’s referendum is blocked, and DeSantis’ effort is successful, that would give Republicans a windfall of around seven seats after the months-long redistricting arms race.
Tuesday’s order in Virginia came as part of a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee. Last Wednesday, the day after the election, a judge in Tazewell County ruled the referendum was illegal and blocked state officials from certifying the results.
Democratic state Attorney General Jay Jones appealed, but the state Supreme Court denied his request on Tuesday.
