路易斯安那州议员于周三公布了2026年国会选举的新选区划分方案，此前美国最高法院上月在一项具有里程碑意义的裁决中推翻了该州现行的选区地图。
新方案将取消该州一个由黑人占多数、倾向民主党的选区，同时保留一个倾向民主党的选区。新的选区地图将使共和党在5个选区占据优势，民主党仅在1个选区占据优势。
州参议院及政府事务委员会于周三凌晨通过了该方案。民主党曾提出自己的方案，希望保留原本4个共和党选区、2个民主党选区的划分格局。
新的单一民主党倾向选区从新奥尔良延伸至巴吞鲁日部分地区，这可能会让该州两位黑人议员克利奥·菲尔兹和特洛伊·卡特陷入直接竞争。菲尔兹所在的以黑人为多数的选区已被拆分并入其他选区。

菲尔兹在一份声明中表示将抵制新的选区划分方案。
“这项法案或许已获通过，但其背后的原则并未站住脚，”菲尔兹在声明中说道。
他补充道，随着该法案“提交至州参议院全院审议，我将竭力确保这些原则不会被弃置一旁。本州的人口结构要求公平代表权，本州的历史要求公平代表权，而路易斯安那州的人民——所有人民——理应获得公平代表权，除此之外别无他求。”
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊的第四国会选区在新方案中被重新划分，如今涵盖了什里夫波特及周边地区。他周三表示，最高法院“恢复了一个简单却意义深远的真相：没错，宪法平等保护每一位美国人，这是我们必须坚守的重要原则。”
“我们不能在违宪的选区地图基础上举行选举，”约翰逊说道，“这就是为什么不仅路易斯安那州，其他各州也都根据最高法院的这项澄清裁决重新审视了本州的选区划分，以确保我们的工作合规正确。”
据哥伦比亚广播公司新奥尔良分社WWL报道，针对共和党主导的选区方案的公众意见征询一直持续到凌晨4点。
最高法院上月裁定，路易斯安那州2021年实施的国会选区地图在重划选区边界时过度倾斜，未能符合《选举权法案》第2条的要求。此次裁决缩小了《选举权法案》的适用范围，为2026年中期选举前美国多个南部州的重划选区之争拉开了序幕。
此次最高法院裁决是去年由特朗普总统引发的重划选区之争的最新进展。当时特朗普敦促德克萨斯州议员重划国会选区，为共和党多争取至多5个席位，以期帮助其政党保住对美国众议院的控制权。
尽管最高法院裁决公布数天后路易斯安那州就将启动提前投票，且已有超过4万张选票被寄回，共和党州长杰夫·兰德瑞还是暂停了该州的众议院初选。兰德瑞本周早些时候在接受《60分钟》采访时表示，已寄回的选票将被作废。
该州其他初选仍在进行中，其中包括备受关注的参议院席位共和党初选。提前投票已于5月9日结束，初选将于5月16日举行。
Louisiana lawmakers advance new 5-1 congressional map that favors Republicans

Louisiana lawmakers on Wednesday unveiled a new congressional map for the 2026 election after the Supreme Court struck down the state’s current map in a landmark ruling last month.
The new map will eliminate one of the state’s majority Black, Democratic-leaning districts while keeping one Democratic-leaning district. The district map now favors Republicans in five districts and Democrats in one.
The state Senate and Governmental Affairs committee advanced the map in the early hours on Wednesday. Democrats had proposed their own map that kept the 4-2 map in place.
The new single Democratic-leaning district stretches from New Orleans into parts of Baton Rouge, potentially pitting the state’s two Black representatives, Cleo Fields and Troy Carter, against each other. Fields’ majority Black district was dissolved into other districts.

In a statement, Fields vowed to fight the new map.
“That bill may have failed, but its principles have not,” Fields said in the statement.
He added that as the bill “moves to the full Senate, I will be fighting to ensure those principles are not left behind. The demographics of this state demand fair representation. The history of this state demands it. And the people of Louisiana — all of the people — deserve nothing less.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson, whose 4th District was partially redrawn in the new map and now includes Shreveport and the surrounding area, said Wednesday that the Supreme Court “restored a simple but profound truth, yes, the Constitution protects every American equally, and that’s a very important concept for us to maintain.”
“You can’t have an election on an unconstitutional map,” Johnson said. “That’s why, not just Louisiana, but other states have reviewed their maps under this new rule in the clarification of the court to make sure that we do this right.”
Public comment on the GOP-led maps stretched into 4 a.m., according to CBS New Orleans affiliate WWL.
The Supreme Court ruled last month that the congressional map enacted in Louisiana in 2021 leaned too heavily when redrawing the state’s voting boundaries to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The ruling narrowed the Voting Rights Act, kicking off a redistricting race in many southern states ahead of the 2026 midterm election.
The Supreme Court decision was the latest development in the redistricting wars kicked off last year by President Trump when he pushed Texas lawmakers to redraw their congressional map to net up to five more seats for Republicans as his party seeks to stay in control of the U.S. House.
Although early voting in Louisiana was set to begin only a few days after the Supreme Court ruling and more than 40,000 ballots had already been returned, Republican Gov. Jeff Landry suspended the state’s House primaries. Landry told “60 Minutes” earlier this week that the ballots already returned will be discarded.
The other primaries in the state are still underway, including the highly-watched Republican primary for the Senate seat. Early voting ended on May 9 and the primary will be held on May 16.
