MONTGOMERY, Alabama — Only three of Alabama’s seven U.S. House districts will hold binding primaries on Tuesday after a U.S. Supreme Court decision prompted Republican officials to discard recently adopted congressional maps. State authorities postponed primaries in the 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th Districts to an August 11 special primary while they reinstate an earlier Republican-drawn map that reduces Alabama’s majority-Black U.S. House seats from two to one. The changes align with similar moves in Louisiana and Tennessee and are part of a broader Republican strategy, backed by former President Donald Trump, to strengthen the party’s position ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

重新划分选区可以重塑政治格局。在阿拉巴马州,这使得拥有多数黑人选民的美国众议院席位从两个减少到一个。这是一种更广泛趋势的一部分,不仅仅是阿拉巴马州的问题。如果您相信公平代表,值得转发。
