南部重划选区争端升温，民主党展开反击
国会首席记者查德·珀格拉姆报道了美国南部愈演愈烈的国会选区重划争端，民主党议员正抵制共和党重划国会选区的努力。

最高法院大法官克拉伦斯·托马斯周三没有立刻为阿拉巴马州共和党人扫清障碍，但下令该选区划分方案的投票权反对者尽快为法院制定的国会选区图辩护——该方案帮助民主党在2024年拿下了这个深红州的一个众议院席位。
阿拉巴马州共和党总检察长请求紧急救济，要求最高法院立即恢复该州2023年由州议会拟定的国会选区划分方案。此前下级法院否决了这一方案，裁定该州必须继续使用法院指定的特别专员制定的选区图，该方案增设了第二个黑人机会选区，并帮助民主党众议员肖马里·菲格雷斯在2024年当选。
周三，负责第十一巡回法院事务的托马斯没有立刻恢复2023年的国会选区图，但下令该案的投票权原告在周一之前给出解释，说明为何不应使用该州议会拟定的选区方案。
托马斯的裁决是这场持续数年的选区重划风波的最新进展。今年4月最高法院的一项裁决缩小了民主党在选区重划斗争中所援引的《投票权法案》相关条款的解释范围，为这场风波注入了新的变数。在4月的裁决之前，最高法院维持了对该州2020年人口普查选区图的挑战，法院批准的由民主党支持的特别专员制定的选区图得以实施，该方案重新划分了该州第二国会选区，将原本稳固由共和党掌控的席位翻转，使民主党多获得一个众议院席位。

在紧急申请中，阿拉巴马州辩称需要立即暂停下级法院的裁决，称其“无视《卡莱斯案》判例、操纵普尔原则，违背了宪法赋予所有人平等保护的承诺”。
阿拉巴马州援引了最高法院4月在路易斯安那州诉卡莱斯案中的最新裁决，该裁决为共和党提供了对抗左翼投票权活动人士选区方案的新武器，使得后者更难依据《投票权法案》第2条要求增设以少数族裔为主的选区。
最高法院的这项裁决最终在共和党掌控的州引发了新一轮重划选区的浪潮，阿拉巴马州便是其中之一，该州援引《卡莱斯案》的裁决，要求最高法院重新审查下级法院否决2023年州议会拟定选区图的命令。

针对路易斯安那州案件的裁决，最高法院于5月11日裁定，下级法院否决阿拉巴马州2023年选区图的判决应被撤销，发回重审。然而，周二，由三名法官组成的联邦地区法院再次否决了2023年的选区图，下令继续使用法院批准的特别专员制定的选区图，这促使阿拉巴马州于周三提出紧急救济申请，由托马斯作出裁决。

在最高法院5月11日将案件发回下级法院后，州长凯·艾维宣布将于8月11日为受影响的第一、第二、第六和第七国会选区举行特别初选，称该州已准备好推进州议会拟定的选区方案。

Clarence Thomas puts Dems on clock as Alabama GOP emergency map bid stalled

Alabama Republicans are fighting to revive a legislature-drawn map after a court-ordered version helped Democrats gain an extra House seat

Redistricting battles heat up across the South, Democrats push back
Chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on intensifying redistricting battles across the Southern United States as Democratic lawmakers fight Republican efforts to redraw congressional maps.

Justice Clarence Thomas declined to immediately hand Alabama Republicans a win Wednesday, but ordered their voting rights challengers to quickly defend a court-drawn congressional map that helped Democrats flip a deep-red state House seat.
Alabama’s Republican attorney general requested emergency relief, asking the Supreme Court to immediately revive the state’s 2023 legislature-drawn congressional map after a lower court blocked it, ruling that the state must continue using a special-master map approved by the courts that created a second Black-opportunity district and helped elect Democratic Rep. Shomari Figures in 2024.
On Wednesday, Thomas, who is assigned to the 11th Circuit, declined to immediately restore the 2023 congressional map but also ordered the case’s voting rights plaintiffs to provide an explanation by Monday on why that legislature-drawn map should not be used.
Thomas’ ruling is the latest in a years-long redistricting saga that was given new life following an April Supreme Court ruling that narrowed the interpretation of a provision in the Voting Rights Act used by Democrats in their redistricting fights. Prior to the April ruling, the Supreme Court upheld a challenge to the state’s 2020 census-drawn map and a court-approved special-master map preferred by Democrats was implemented, which reshaped the state’s 2nd District and flipped a solidly GOP-held seat that gave Democrats another House seat.

In its emergency application, Alabama argued an immediate stay was needed because the lower-court ruling “defies Callais, manipulates the Purcell principle, and offends the Constitution’s promise of equal protection for all.”
Alabama is leaning on the Supreme Court’s recent April ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which gave Republicans a new weapon against maps from left-wing voting rights activists by making it harder for them to force additional primarily minority districts under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
The decision from the Supreme Court ultimately fueled a wave of fresh redistricting efforts in GOP-led states, including Alabama, which used the Callais ruling to ask the justices to revisit the lower-court orders blocking the 2023 legislature-drawn map.

In response to the Louisiana case’s ruling, the Supreme Court ruled on May 11 that the lower court’s judgment blocking Alabama’s 2023 map should be vacated and sent back for another look. However, on Tuesday, the three-judge federal district court blocked the 2023 map and ordered the court-approved special master map to continue to be used, leading to Alabama’s request for emergency relief on Wednesday that was ruled on by Thomas.

The timing of Thomas’ order comes as Alabama officials have already tried to prepare for a rapid switch back to the 2023 map.
After the Supreme Court’s May 11 order sent the case back to the lower court, Gov. Kay Ivey called Aug. 11 special primaries for the affected 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th Congressional Districts, saying the state was ready to move forward with its Alabama legislature-drawn map.
