美联社电——
周二南卡罗来纳州初选提前投票启动之际，州参议院否决了一项共和党计划，该计划拟取消现有国会初选，转而按照重新划定的选区举行新的初选，以帮助共和党罢免一名长期任职的民主党议员。
部分参议员表示，现在做出调整为时已晚。
“南卡罗来纳州民众正前往投票站。无论我的良知还是常识，都不会让我叫停已经启动的选举，”共和党州参议员理查德·卡什说道。

南卡罗来纳州的这场政治闹剧是共和党战略的一部分，该战略由总统唐纳德·特朗普推动，旨在重新划分选举选区以谋求共和党利益，试图在中期选举中保住微弱的众议院多数席位。共和党一直在快速行动，以期利用美国最高法院近期一项削弱《联邦投票权法案》中少数族裔保护条款的裁决。
周二是6月9日初选提前投票的首日，截至中午，南卡罗来纳州已有超过2.6万张选票投出。此前民主党呼吁反对新选区提案的民众踊跃投票。2022年，为期两周的提前投票总票数约为12.5万张。
在奥兰治堡小城，首位提前投票的选民是美国众议员吉姆·克莱伯恩。共和党正试图重塑克莱伯恩所在的选区，以期全面拿下南卡罗来纳州全部7个国会席位。态度强硬的克莱伯恩坚称，无论选区如何调整，他都会竞选连任。
“就算选区变成特朗普领先20个百分点的格局，我也没问题，”克莱伯恩在描述重划选区后共和党可能获得的优势时说道，“我会在我居住的地方参选。”

由共和党掌控的州众议院此前已通过一项计划，该计划将重组克莱伯恩所在的选区，作废当前国会初选的结果，并于8月举行新的美国众议院初选。
特朗普一直在为该计划游说，他至少两次致电共和党州参议院多数党领袖沙恩·梅西，本月早些时候还通过电话参与了共和党议员的闭门会议。他还在社交媒体上持续施压。
但参议院的辩论陷入停滞：民主党议员强烈反对，部分共和党议员也担忧激进的重划选区计划可能适得其反——新增的民主党选民会让一些共和党掌控的席位面临丢失风险。
South Carolina Senate rejects Trump’s call to redraw congressional maps and target Jim Clyburn’s seat

As early in-person voting began Tuesday in South Carolina’s primaries, the state Senate rejected a Republican plan to cancel those congressional votes and instead schedule a new primary under revised districts designed to help the GOP oust a longtime Democratic lawmaker.
Some senators said it was simply too late to make a change.
“South Carolina citizens are going to the polls today. And neither my conscience or common sense is going to let me stop an election that is already underway,” Republican state Sen. Richard Cash said.

The political drama in South Carolina is part of a Republican strategy — propelled by President Donald Trump — to redraw voting districts to the GOP’s advantage in an attempt to hold on to a slim House majority in the midterm elections. Republicans have been moving quickly to try to leverage a recent US Supreme Court ruling that weakened minority protections under the federal Voting Rights Act.
More than 26,000 votes were cast in South Carolina by noon Tuesday on the first day of early voting for the June 9 primary after Democrats called for people against a proposed new map to turn out in force. In 2022, about 125,000 early votes were cast the entire two weeks.
Among the first to cast an early ballot in the small city of Orangeburg was US Rep. Jim Clyburn, the Democrat whose district Republicans were trying to reshape in their quest for a clean sweep of South Carolina’s seven congressional seats. A defiant Clyburn insisted he would run for reelection, regardless of what the district looks like.
“I’m OK if it’s Trump plus 20,” Clyburn said while describing the potential Republican advantage in a reshaped district. “I would be running where I live.”

The Republican-led House already had passed a plan that would reconfigure Clyburn’s district, void the results of current congressional primaries and instead hold new US House primaries in August.
Trump has lobbied for the plan, making at least two phone calls to Republican state Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey and also phoning in to a private meeting of Republican senators earlier this month. He also has maintained the pressure on social media.
But debate stalled in the Senate, where Democrats were staunchly opposed and some GOP lawmakers had concerns that an aggressive redistricting could backfire by making some Republican-held seats susceptible to losses because of the addition of Democratic voters.
