6月10日(路透社)——佛罗里达州最高法院周三拒绝在11月中期选举前叫停新的共和党主导的国会选区地图,这为共和党保住美国众议院微弱多数席位的努力提供了助力。

此次判决几乎可以肯定,这份旨在拿下最多4个民主党席位的地图将在今年秋季选举中继续生效。国会候选人的报名截止日期为本周五,初选定于8月举行。

法院以6票赞成、1票反对的表决结果裁定,在下级上诉法院仍在审理一起质疑该地图的诉讼期间,本院无权介入。

民主党方面以州宪法禁止为偏袒某一政党而划定选区边界(即所谓的党派操纵选区划分)为由,对新地图提出违法指控。原告曾请求高等法院暂停该地图的使用,并下令州政府官员在诉讼结案前沿用旧版地图。

人口普查通常在每十年一次的美国人口普查结束后启动。但去年夏天,时任总统唐纳德·特朗普推动得克萨斯州共和党人推出更符合己方利益的新地图,引发了前所未有的中期选区重划争议。

自此之后,共和党和民主党执政的州都在为谋取党派优势而寻求重划选区边界。

佛罗里达州共和党人于4月底通过了该州新的选区地图,当天正值美国最高法院发布削弱《选举权法案》对少数族裔人口占比较高选区保护条款的裁决。多个由共和党主导的南方州趁机取消了占多数或接近多数的黑人选区,这类选区通常倾向于支持民主党。

尽管特朗普的支持率低迷,民主党仍有可能拿下众议院多数席位,但这些举措总体上帮助共和党在选区重划之争中占据了优势。

提起此次诉讼的 advocacy 组织“平等之地”执行主任吉妮西斯·罗宾逊在一份声明中表示:“佛罗里达州最高法院未能阻止这场肆无忌惮的党派权力攫取,不仅是对民主的践踏,更是对佛罗里达州人民的职责背弃。”

共和党目前已占据佛罗里达州28个美国众议院席位中的20个。

Florida Supreme Court leaves Republican congressional map in place

June 10 (Reuters) – Florida’s Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to block a new Republican-drawn congressional map ahead of November’s midterm elections, giving the party a boost in its effort ​to retain a narrow majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The decision all ‌but guarantees that the map, which is aimed at flipping as many as four Democratic seats, will remain in place for this fall’s elections. The filing deadline for congressional candidates is on Friday, and ​the primary contests are scheduled for August.

In a 6-1 decision, the court ruled that ​it did not have the jurisdiction to intervene in a lawsuit challenging ⁠the map while it remains pending before a lower appeals court.

Democrats have challenged the ​new map as unlawful based on a state constitutional prohibition on drawing district lines to benefit ​one party over another, a process known as partisan gerrymandering. The plaintiffs had asked the high court to put the map on hold and order state officials to use the previous map until the lawsuit ​is resolved.

Redistricting typically occurs at the start of each decade following the decennial U.S. ​Census count. But President Donald Trump set off an unprecedented mid-decade redistricting fight last summer, when he pushed ‌Texas ⁠Republicans to install a new, more friendly map.

Since then, both Republican- and Democratic-led states have sought to redraw their districts for partisan advantage.

Florida Republicans approved the state’s new map in late April, on the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling hollowing out ​the Voting Rights Act’s ​protections for districts ⁠with significant racial minority populations. Several Republican-led Southern states rushed to capitalize on that decision by eliminating majority or near-majority Black districts, which ​typically favor Democrats.

Those efforts have helped Republicans build an advantage overall ​in the ⁠redistricting war, though Democrats may still capture a House majority given Trump’s weak approval ratings.

In a statement, Genesis Robinson, the executive director of advocacy group Equal Ground, which filed the lawsuit, said, “The ⁠Florida ​Supreme Court’s failure to stop this brazen partisan power ​grab is not only an assault on democracy, but an abdication of its duty to the people of Florida.”

Republicans ​already hold 20 of Florida’s 28 U.S. House seats.
