北卡罗来纳州联邦小组让重新划分选区的诉讼案扩大, A North Carolina federal panel lets redistricting lawsuits expand, challenging a new GOP-drawn map seen as worsening racial and partisan gerrymandering.

北卡罗来纳州由三名法官组成的联邦合议庭允许原告扩大重新划分选区的诉讼,以质疑新绘制的国会地图,该州地图由共和党立法者通过参议院第249号法案核准。 A federal three-judge panel in North Carolina has allowed plaintiffs to expand their redistricting lawsuits to challenge the state’s newly drawn congressional map, approved by Republican lawmakers via Senate Bill 249. 更新后的地图重新绘制了北卡罗来纳州东部第1和第3区,预计美国众议院代表团将获得11至3个共和党多数席位。 The updated map, which redraws Districts 1 and 3 in eastern North Carolina, is expected to secure an 11-3 Republican majority in the U.S. House delegation. 包括有色人种协进会和共同事业在内的批评者认为,在没有人口普查或法院命令的情况下绘制的地图冲淡了东北黑带区域的黑人和拉美人的投票权,并对先前的法律挑战进行报复。 Critics, including the NAACP and Common Cause, argue the map, created without a census or court order, dilutes Black and Latino voting power in the Northeastern Black Belt region and retaliates against prior legal challenges. 他们声称,这些变化加剧了党派和种族纷争,违反了美国宪法和联邦投票权法。 They claim the changes worsen partisan and racial gerrymandering, violating the U.S. Constitution and federal voting rights laws. 国家捍卫地图是合法的立法行动。 The state defends the map as a legitimate legislative action. 所有各方必须在星期一下午5时前提交解决新要求的拟议时间表,新的地图将在2026年选举中使用。 All parties must submit a proposed schedule for resolving the new claims by 5 p.m. Monday, with the new map set to be used in the 2026 elections.
