南卡罗来纳州、阿拉巴马州共和党议员周二推进重划国会选区版图
作者：保罗·施泰因豪泽 福克斯新闻
弗吉尼亚州民主党人在州最高法院否决其重划选区方案后陷入“绝望与暴怒”，该方案本可让民主党在10个国会选区占据优势，共和党仅占1席。《纽约时报》爆料的内部讨论显示，民主党正考虑一项不同寻常的策略：替换全州最高法院大法官，或通过降低大法官退休年龄迫使现任大法官退休。此举遭到共和党人的尖锐批评。

唐纳德·特朗普总统表示，他将“密切关注”共和党占多数的南卡罗来纳州州议员周二开始重划该州国会选区版图的进程，目的是消除该州仅有的一个民主党掌控的国会众议院席位。
与此同时，在共和党铁票仓阿拉巴马州，共和党官员正推进重划国会选区版图，该方案可能会在今年秋季的中期选举前取消该州两个民主党掌控的国会众议院席位之一。届时共和党将捍卫其微弱的国会多数席位优势。
阿拉巴马州和南卡罗来纳州本周的行动，以及路易斯安那州和田纳西州的类似努力，都发生在最高法院保守派多数席位裁决削减《投票权法案》一项关键保护条款两周之后。
这些行动为特朗普和共和党在中期选举前重划国会选区版图的 ongoing 政治斗争中提供了重大助力。这场全国范围内的重划选区对决，关乎哪个政党将在特朗普第二个白宫任期的最后两年掌控众议院。

在南卡罗来纳州，州参议院预计周二将投票决定是否同意州众议院启动罕见但并非闻所未闻的任期中期重划选区程序。州议员还需将南卡罗来纳州国会众议院初选从下月上旬推迟至8月。该州初选的提前投票定于两周后启动。
南卡罗来纳州共和党人大概率会推进一项新的选区版图，可能会让该州7人国会众议院代表团中唯一的民主党众议员吉姆·克莱伯恩丢掉饭碗。
克莱伯恩本周仍对自己能够成功连任持乐观态度。
“我不明白为什么有人认为如果南卡罗来纳州重划选区，我就无法连任，”克莱伯恩在接受CNN采访时表示，“我的选区目前有约45%的非裔选民。我不知道州议会完成重划后这个比例会是多少，但无论比例如何，我都会凭借我的政绩和美国的承诺参选。”
特朗普周一晚间在社交媒体发文敦促“南卡罗来纳州的共和党人：大胆而勇敢地行动。”
“将国会众议院初选推迟到8月，其余选举按原日程进行。一切都会顺利。赶紧搞定！”他补充道。
就在一周前，印第安纳州5名州参议员在12月帮助该州这个共和党铁票仓的国会重划选区提案胎死腹中，他们在共和党初选中被特朗普支持的挑战者赶下台。

阿拉巴马州的重划进程迎来转机。最高法院以6票支持、3票反对的意识形态分歧裁决，为该州采用2023年共和党起草的选区版图扫清了道路，该方案此前被下级法院叫停。新地图将取消该州两个倾向民主党的国会选区之一。
两周前的最高法院裁决重塑了具有里程碑意义的1965年《投票权法案》，裁定种族不应成为立法选区版图重划的决定性因素。该意见还明确裁定路易斯安那州的国会选区版图违宪。
上周，最高法院宣布其关于路易斯安那州选区版图违宪的裁决立即生效，打破了通常在裁决正式公布前等待约一个月的惯例。
这为共和党控制的州议会启动重划选区程序扫清了障碍，相关听证会已于上周五启动。
共和党州长杰夫·兰德里是特朗普的核心盟友，在最高法院裁决后迅速采取行动，推迟了路易斯安那州5月16日的国会众议院初选。

田纳西州的共和党人行动更为迅速。
由共和党掌控的田纳西州州议会周四迅速通过了一项新的选区版图，将取消该州唯一由民主党掌控的国会选区，大概率让共和党拿下全部9个国会席位。
共和党州长比尔·李迅速签署该新地图法案使其生效。
代表该多数黑人选区的民主党众议员史蒂夫·科恩发誓将提起法律诉讼。
“特朗普清楚他必须操纵游戏规则才能在11月保住多数席位。田纳西州共和党人甘愿同流合污，这太可耻了，”科恩在社交媒体上写道，“下一站就是法院。”
特朗普在社交媒体帖子中称赞了田纳西州共和党人，并敦促南卡罗来纳州的共和党议员“就像上周伟大的田纳西州的共和党人那样行动”。
最高法院重磅投票权裁决点燃南部各州重划选区战火
在佛罗里达州，共和党州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯上周签署了由共和党控制的州议会通过的法案，全面改革该倾向共和党州的国会选区版图，通过取消目前由民主党掌控的选区新增4个倾向共和党的席位。
目前共和党在佛罗里达州国会众议院代表团中以20比8占据优势。
民主党正在反击。
周一，民主党人向美国最高法院提起紧急上诉，要求叫停弗吉尼亚州最高法院的一项裁决，该裁决否决了一项投票提案，该提案本可让民主党多获得4个倾向左翼的国会席位。
弗吉尼亚州上周的裁决意味着2024年选举使用的选区版图将继续用于2026年的投票对决。民主党目前在该州国会众议院代表团中以6比5占据微弱优势。此前被推翻的选区版图本可让民主党在这个倾向蓝色但竞争激烈的州取得10比1的优势。
事件来龙去脉
这场选区版图之争于去年春天爆发，当时特朗普为避免其第一个总统任期内的一幕重演——2018年中期选举民主党夺回众议院多数席位——首次提出了罕见但并非闻所未闻的任期中期重划国会选区的想法。
其目标很明确：在红色州重划国会选区版图，扩大共和党脆弱的众议院多数席位优势，以在中期选举中保住对众议院的控制，因为在野党通常会在中期选举中遭遇政治逆风并丢失席位。
去年夏天，当被记者问及在全国范围内增加共和党倾向众议院席位的计划时，总统表示：“得克萨斯州将是最大的赢家，届时将增加5个席位。”
得克萨斯州共和党州长格雷格·阿博特召集共和党控制的州议会召开特别会议，以通过新的选区版图。

但民主党州议员为阻挠重划选区法案的通过，连续两周脱离议事现场缺席法定人数，此举鼓舞了全美各地的民主党人。领导反对特朗普重划选区行动的人士包括加利福尼亚州民主党州长加文·纽瑟姆。
去年11月，加利福尼亚州选民压倒性通过了50号提案，该投票倡议暂时搁置了该左翼州的无党派重划选区委员会，将绘制国会选区版图的权力交还给民主党控制的州议会。
这一举措为加利福尼亚州新增了5个倾向民主党的国会选区，旨在对抗得克萨斯州的重划选区行动。

但这场斗争很快蔓延到了得克萨斯州和加利福尼亚州之外。
在特朗普的推动下，由共和党控制的密苏里州、俄亥俄州以及共和党主导州议会的摇摆州北卡罗来纳州都起草了新的选区版图。

但也有对共和党不利的打击：犹他州一名地区法官去年年底否决了该州共和党控制的州议会起草的国会选区版图，转而批准了一份备选方案，将在中期选举前创建一个倾向民主党的选区。
如前所述，印第安纳州州参议院的共和党人去年12月违抗特朗普，否决了州众议院通过的重划选区法案。

Trump urges Republicans to ‘BE BOLD’ as red states push to rewrite congressional maps
May 12, 2026 10:12am EDT / Fox News
Republicans in South Carolina, Alabama push forward Tuesday on redrawing congressional maps
By Paul Steinhauser Fox News
Virginia Democrats face ‘desperation and fury’ after the Commonwealth’s Supreme Court blocked their redistricting map, which would have favored them with 10 districts against Republicans’ one. Internal discussions, revealed by a leaked New York Times report, show Democrats considering an unusual gambit to replace the entire state Supreme Court, potentially forcing retirements by lowering the retirement age of justices. This move has drawn sharp criticism from Republicans.

President Donald Trump says he’ll be “watching closely” as lawmakers in the Republican-dominated South Carolina legislature on Tuesday begin redrawing their state’s congressional district map to erase the only Democrat-dominated U.S. House seat.
At the same time, Republican officials in solidly red Alabama are moving forward with a redrawn congressional map that would likely eliminate one of the state’s two Democratic-held U.S. House seats in time for this autumn’s midterm elections, when the GOP will be defending its razor-thin congressional majority.
This week’s moves in Alabama and South Carolina, along with similar efforts in Louisiana and Tennessee, come two weeks after a ruling by the conservative majority on the Supreme Court to slash a key Voting Rights Act protection.
And they’re giving Trump and the GOP a major boost in their ongoing political fight with Democrats to redraw congressional district maps ahead of the midterms. At stake in this nationwide redistricting showdown is which party will control the House during the final two years of Trump’s second term in the White House.
DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB

In South Carolina, the state Senate is expected to vote Tuesday on whether to agree with the state House to take up rare but not unheard of mid-decade redistricting. State lawmakers would also need to push back South Carolina’s U.S. House primaries from early next month to August. Early voting in the state’s primary is scheduled to kick off in two weeks.
South Carolina Republicans are likely to advance a new map that could put longtime Rep. Jim Clyburn, the only Democrat in the state’s seven-person House delegation, out of a job.
Clyburn this past week remained optimistic he could still win re-election.
“I don’t know why people think I could not get re-elected if they redistrict South Carolina,” Clyburn said in a CNN interview. “I have a district that’s about 45 percent African-American. I have no idea what the number will be after the legislature finishes, but whatever that number is, I will be running on my record and America’s promise.”
Trump, in a social media post Monday night, urged “South Carolina Republicans: BE BOLD AND COURAGEOUS.”
“Move the U.S. House Primaries to August, leave the rest on the same schedule. Everything will be fine. GET IT DONE!” he added.
Trump’s message comes a week after five Indiana Republican state senators who in December helped sink congressional redistricting in the solidly red Midwestern state were ousted by Trump-backed challengers in GOP primaries.
WHAT’S ON THE LINE AS THESE STATES HOLD PRIMARIES TODAY

It’s back to the future in Alabama, after the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ideological ruling, cleared the way for the state to put in place a map Republicans drew up in 2023 that had been blocked by lower courts. The map would eliminate one of the state’s two blue-leaning congressional seats.
The Supreme Court’s decision two weeks ago reshaped the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act by ruling that race should not dictate the redrawing of legislative district maps. And the opinion specifically ruled that Louisiana’s congressional district map was unconstitutional.
Last week, the Supreme Court said that its decision declaring Louisiana’s map unconstitutional should go into effect immediately, breaking with its usual procedure of waiting roughly a month before its opinions become official.
That cleared the way for the GOP-controlled state legislature to begin the process of reshaping the map, and hearings got underway on Friday.
Republican Gov. Jeff Landry, a top Trump ally, took swift action in the immediate aftermath of the high court’s ruling, when he delayed the May 16 U.S. House primary elections in Louisiana.
Louisiana Republicans are aiming to erase one or both of the two Black-majority House seats, which are represented by Democrats.

Republicans in Tennessee moved even faster.
The GOP-dominated Tennessee legislature on Thursday quickly adopted a new map that would eliminate the only Democrat-controlled congressional district in the state, and would likely give Republicans control of all nine districts.
GOP Gov. Bill Lee quickly signed the new maps into law.
Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen, who represents the majority Black district that’s being carved up, vowed legal action.
“Trump knows he HAS TO rig the game to keep his majority in November. And the TN GOP was willing to go along with it. It’s shameful,” Cohen wrote on social media. “Next stop is the courts.”
Trump praised Tennessee Republicans in his social media post and urged GOP lawmakers in South Carolina to act “just like the Republicans of the Great State of Tennessee were last week.”
BLOCKBUSTER SUPREME COURT VOTING RIGHTS RULING IGNITES REDISTRICTING WAR ACROSS SOUTHERN STATES
In Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis last week signed a bill by the GOP-dominated state legislature that overhauls the red-leaning state’s congressional districts, adding four more right-leaning seats by eliminating districts currently controlled by Democrats.
Republicans currently control Florida’s U.S. House delegation by a 20-8 margin.
Democrats are fighting back.
On Monday, Democrats filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to halt a Virginia state Supreme Court ruling invalidating a ballot measure that would have given their party an additional four left-leaning U.S. House seats.
Last week’s ruling in Virginia means the map used in the 2024 elections will stay in place for the 2026 ballot box showdowns. Democrats currently control the state’s U.S. House delegation by a 6-5 margin. The now overturned map could have resulted in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in the blue-leaning but competitive state.
How we got here
The battle over the maps ignited last spring when Trump, aiming to prevent what happened during his first term in the White House when Democrats reclaimed the House majority in the 2018 midterms, first floated the idea of rare, but not unheard of, mid-decade congressional redistricting.
The mission was simple: redraw congressional district maps in red states to pad the GOP’s fragile House majority to keep control of the chamber in the midterms, when the party in power traditionally faces political headwinds and loses seats.
When asked by reporters last summer about his plan to add Republican-leaning House seats across the country, the president said, “Texas will be the biggest one. And that’ll be five.”
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas called a special session of the GOP-dominated state legislature to pass the new map.

But Democratic state lawmakers, who broke quorum for two weeks as they fled Texas in a bid to delay the passage of the redistricting bill, energized Democrats across the country. Among those leading the fight against Trump’s redistricting was Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California.
California voters in November overwhelmingly passed Proposition 50, a ballot initiative that temporarily sidetracked the left-leaning state’s nonpartisan redistricting commission and returned the power to draw the congressional maps to the Democratic-dominated legislature.
That led to five more Democratic-leaning congressional districts in California, which aimed to counter the move by Texas to redraw their maps.

But the fight quickly spread beyond Texas and California.
Republican-controlled Missouri and Ohio and swing state North Carolina, where the GOP dominates the legislature, drew new maps as part of the president’s push.

But in blows to Republicans, a Utah district judge late last year rejected a congressional district map drawn by the state’s GOP-dominated legislature and instead approved an alternate that will create a Democratic-leaning district ahead of the midterms.
And as mentioned, Republicans in Indiana’s Senate in December defied Trump, shooting down a redistricting bill that had passed the state House.
