得克萨斯州GOP以宪法权利为由,起诉只限共和党人进行初级投票。 Texas GOP sues to limit primary voting to Republicans only, citing constitutional rights.

得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿(Ken Paxton)和得克萨斯州共和党(共和党)提出联邦诉讼,试图将共和党的初级选举仅限于已登记的共和党选民,认为允许独立人士和民主党人参加选举侵犯了该党的宪法权利。 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the Republican Party of Texas have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to restrict Republican primary elections to only registered Republican voters, arguing that allowing independents and Democrats to participate violates the party’s constitutional rights. 向Amarillo联邦法院提起的诉讼对州公开初级选举制度提出质疑,该制度允许任何登记选民在选举日选择政党选票。 The lawsuit, filed in Amarillo federal court, challenges the state’s open primary system, which permits any registered voter to choose a party’s ballot on election day. GOP声称,非共和党的选票对结果产生了影响,包括在最近的初选中赢得了小胜。 The GOP claims that non-Republican votes have influenced outcomes, including narrow wins in recent primaries. 在Matthew Kacsmaryk法官面前的这个案件可以重塑初级准入,但专家说,实施改革将需要重新登记所有1 800万选民,并全面改革选举制度——在2026年之前不可能作出任何改变。 The case, before Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, could reshape primary access, but experts say implementing changes would require re-registering all 18 million voters and overhauling election systems—making any shift unlikely before 2026. 法院尚未裁决。 The court has not yet ruled.
