在司法部称四个地区违宪之后,得克萨斯州重新绘制了国会地图,引发了对法律和投票权的关切。 Texas redraws congressional map after DOJ calls four districts unconstitutional, sparking legal and voting rights concerns.

得克萨斯州于2025年发起紧急国会重新划分选区, 援引美国司法部的一封信, 声称四个区是违宪联盟区, 由2024年第5巡回法院的裁决所推动, 推翻了1987年允许种族联盟质疑投票地图的先例。 Texas initiated emergency congressional redistricting in 2025, citing a U.S. Department of Justice letter claiming four districts were unconstitutional coalition districts, a move spurred by the 2024 5th Circuit ruling that overturned a 1987 precedent allowing racial coalitions to challenge voting maps. 虽然法律专家认为联盟地区合法且广泛使用, 由共和党领导及总统特朗普(Trump)及总督艾博特(Abbott)的压力驱动的新地图扩大了GOP的代表比例, Though legal experts argue coalition districts are lawful and widely used, the state’s new map, driven by Republican leadership and pressure from President Trump and Governor Abbott, expands GOP representation. 埃尔帕索的一个联邦小组正在审查该地图,其结果可能会影响今后重新划分选区,引起对投票权的关切,特别是在最高法院准备对相关的路易斯安那州案件作出裁决时。 A federal panel in El Paso is reviewing the map, with the outcome potentially influencing future redistricting and raising concerns about voting rights, especially as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on a related Louisiana case.
