5月12日路透电 — 周二，南卡罗来纳州参议院否决了一项重新绘制该州国会选区地图、取消该州唯一民主党联邦众议员席位的提案，数位共和党议员与总统唐纳德·特朗普背道而驰，投票反对该举措。
这一结果很可能意味着在民主党党内拥有广泛影响力的黑人联邦众议员吉姆·克莱伯恩将在11月的中期选举中保住自己的席位。南卡罗来纳州共和党州长亨利·麦克马斯特可以召集特别立法会议审议重划选区事宜，但迄今他一直拒绝这一想法。

周二的另一起事件中，密苏里州最高法院维持了一项共和党支持的选区地图，该地图取消了该州两个民主党联邦众议员席位中的一个。
这两起截然不同的进展凸显出全国范围内的重划选区斗争丝毫没有放缓的迹象，尤其是在美国最高法院上月做出裁决，给予各州更多针对非裔占多数和拉丁裔占多数选区采取行动的空间之后。共和党人正力争在11月的选举中保住他们在联邦众议院微弱的多数席位。
多个由共和党掌控的南方州已迫不及待地想利用最高法院的这项裁决。田纳西州通过了新的选区地图，拆分了一个非裔占多数的选区；路易斯安那州和阿拉巴马州则推迟了联邦众议院的初选，以便共和党议员有时间绘制新的选区地图。非裔选民通常会支持民主党。

南卡罗来纳州众议院的共和党人此前推进了一项提案，允许议员推迟6月9日的联邦众议院初选，并解散克莱伯恩自1993年以来一直代表的选区。
但参议院以29票对17票的结果，未能达到延长立法会议所需的三分之二多数票，差两票。共和党人已经掌控了该州其余六个联邦众议院席位。
特朗普周一在社交媒体上发帖敦促州参议员支持这一举措，称他正在“密切关注”。
他的这番表态让人想起他去年威胁一些印第安纳州共和党议员的做法，当时这些议员拒绝绘制新的选区地图。特朗普誓言要支持初选挑战者与他们竞争——上周，这七名议员中有六名输给了特朗普支持的候选人，凸显了他威胁的影响力。
在密苏里州，该州最高法院驳回了民主党人的论点，即该地图在选民有机会投票表决之前不得生效——此前反对者征集到了足够的签名，将该提案提交至11月的选票。
法院还认定，将堪萨斯城地区拆分进多个选区的地图并未违反州宪法中关于选区必须紧凑的要求。
该地图可能会让共和党在11月的选举中赢得该州全部八个联邦众议院席位。
（本报已更正：第三段中，该地图取消了密苏里州两个民主党联邦众议员席位中的一个，而非唯一的民主党席位。）

Republicans in South Carolina Senate reject redistricting bid that Trump backed

May 12 (Reuters) – A bid to redraw South Carolina’s congressional map and eliminate the state’s sole Democratic U.S. House district failed in the state Senate on Tuesday, when a handful of Republicans broke with President Donald Trump and voted against the effort.
The outcome likely means that U.S. Representative Jim Clyburn, a Black Democrat with broad influence within the party, will retain his seat in November’s midterm elections. Republican Governor Henry McMaster could call a special legislative session to consider redistricting but has thus far resisted the idea.

Separately on Tuesday, the Missouri Supreme Court upheld a Republican-backed map that eliminated one of the state’s two Democratic seats.
The mixed developments underscored how the national redistricting fight shows no sign of flagging, particularly after the U.S. Supreme Court decision last month gave states more leeway to target majority-Black and majority-Latino districts. Republicans are vying to protect their razor-thin U.S. House of Representatives majority in November.
Several Republican-controlled southern states have rushed to take advantage of the court’s decision. Tennessee passed a new map splitting up a majority-Black district, while Louisiana and Alabama postponed their primary elections for the U.S. House of Representatives so Republican lawmakers have time to draw new maps. Black voters typically support Democrats.

Republicans in the South Carolina House of Representatives had advanced a proposal that would have allowed lawmakers to postpone the June 9 primary elections for the U.S. House of Representatives and dismantle the district that Clyburn has represented since 1993.
But the Senate fell two votes shy of the two-thirds majority needed to extend the legislative session in a 29-17 vote. Republicans already control the state’s six other U.S. House districts.
Trump had urged state senators to back the gambit in a social media post on Monday, saying he was “watching closely.”
His words were reminiscent of his threats against some Indiana Republican lawmakers after they declined to draw a new map last year. Trump vowed to back primary challengers to run against them – and six of those seven lawmakers lost to Trump-endorsed candidates last week, underscoring the power of his threats.
In Missouri, the state’s high court rejected Democratic arguments that the map could not take effect until voters had a chance to weigh in, after opponents gathered enough signatures to place the measure on the ballot in November.
The court also found that the map, which splintered the Kansas City area into multiple districts, did not violate the state constitution’s requirement that districts must be compact.
The map is likely to result in Republicans winning all eight of the state’s U.S. House seats in November.
