民主党领导人抨击阿拉巴马州重划选区
Read, Watch or Listen
Birmingham, Alabama. On Monday Democratic leaders including Congresswoman Terri Sewell and Senator Cory Booker held a town hall at the Boutwell Auditorium to push back against Alabama’s special legislative session on redistricting called by Gov. Kay Ivey following a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision altering race-based guidance for congressional maps. This week state Republican legislators in Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina convened special sessions or announced plans to redraw districts; federal judges had ordered a temporary court map in Alabama through the 2030 Census while legal appeals and public protests intensified, and activists warned that proposed changes could reduce majority-Black districts ahead of November.

如果重新划定地图以减少占多数的黑人选区，共和党州党和全国共和党战略家将有望获得更多的国会席位。
