South Carolina to 持つ/拘留する 2024 congressional 選挙s with 地図/計画する 以前 支配するd 憲法違反の

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A 連邦の 法廷,裁判所 on Thursday 支配するd that this year's congressional 選挙s in South Carolina will be held under a 地図/計画する that it had already みなすd 憲法違反の and 差別的な against 黒人/ボイコット 投票者s, with time running out ahead of 投票(する)ing 最終期限s and a 欠如(する) of a 決定/判定勝ち(する) on the 事例/患者 by the 最高裁判所.

In an order, a パネル盤 of three 連邦の 裁判官s from South Carolina wrote that "with the 予備選挙 手続きs 速く approaching, the 控訴,上告 before the 最高裁判所 still 未解決の, and no remedial 計画(する) in place, the ideal must bend to the practical."

South Carolina´s 予備選挙s are June 11, and 早期に 投票(する)ing starts May 28. The 最終期限 for overseas absentee 投票(する)s is April 27, ahead of which the 裁判官s wrote that it's "plainly impractical" to make changes to the 地図/計画するs.

The 事例/患者 hinges on South Carolina´s 1st 連邦議会の 地区, 現在/一般に held by 共和国の/共和党の Rep. Nancy Mace. Last year, the same three-裁判官 パネル盤 ordered South Carolina to redraw the 地区, which runs from Charleston to Hilton 長,率いる Island, after finding that the 明言する/公表する used race as a proxy for 同志/支持者 affiliation in 違反 of the equal 保護 条項 of the 14th 改正 to the 憲法.

When Mace first won her 選挙 in 2020, she 辛勝する/優位d out Democratic 現職の Rep. Joe Cunningham - who two years earlier had been the first 民主党員 to flip a House seat in South Carolina in 30 years - by 1%, under 5,400 投票(する)s. In 2022, に引き続いて redistricting driven by the 2020 国勢(人口)調査 results, Mace won reelection by 14%.

After South Carolina's 立法機関, which 共和国の/共和党のs lead, redrew the 地区, civil 権利s groups 速く とじ込み/提出するd a 訴訟, 非難する 明言する/公表する 国会議員s with choosing "perhaps the worst 選択 of the 利用できる 地図/計画するs" for 黒人/ボイコット 投票者s, arguing they had 除去するd 黒人/ボイコット 投票者s and made it a safer seat for 共和国の/共和党のs.

Last year, a three-裁判官 パネル盤 - the same that 問題/発行するd Thursday's order - 結論するd that South Carolina´s 立法機関 "追放するd" 30,000 Democratic-leaning 黒人/ボイコット 投票者s from the 1st 地区 to help 保護(する)/緊急輸入制限 Mace. The 明言する/公表する 控訴,上告d that 判決,裁定, and the 最高裁判所 heard arguments in October but has yet to 問題/発行する a 決定/判定勝ち(する).

Both the 明言する/公表する and the civil 権利s groups challenging the 地区 had requested a high 法廷,裁判所 決定/判定勝ち(する) by January 1 to 許す for 整然とした 準備 for the 近づいている 選挙s.

At arguments last year, 司法(官)s appeared inclined to 支持する the 地区 and 拒絶する the 地裁's 判決,裁定. The 明言する/公表する argued that 同志/支持者 politics, not race, and a 全住民 にわか景気 in 沿岸の areas explain the congressional 地図/計画する.

On Thursday, the American Civil Liberties Union, part of the 連合 that brought the 事例/患者 on に代わって of the NAACP and 投票者 Taiwan Scott, 非難するd the 決定/判定勝ち(する).

"South Carolina´s 失敗 to 修正する its 人種上 gerrymandered congressional 地図/計画する blatantly 無視(する)s our 勇敢に立ち向かう (弁護士の)依頼人s´ 発言する/表明するs and the 権利s of 黒人/ボイコット 投票者s," said Adriel I. Cepeda Derieux, 副 director for the American Civil Liberties Union´s 投票(する)ing 権利s 事業/計画(する). "By 辞退するing to take meaningful 活動/戦闘, the 立法機関 has 土台を崩すd 僕主主義 and その上の 堅固に守るd 投票者 鎮圧 in the 明言する/公表する. 残り/休憩(する) 保証するd, we will fight on."

The 事例/患者 異なるs from one in Alabama in which the 最高裁判所 支配するd last year that 共和国の/共和党の 国会議員s diluted 黒人/ボイコット 投票者s´ political 力/強力にする under the 目印 投票(する)ing 権利s 行為/法令/行動する by 製図/抽選 just one 地区 with a 大多数 黒人/ボイコット 全住民. 司法(官)s' 決定/判定勝ち(する) led to a new 地図/計画する with a second 地区 where Democratic-leaning 黒人/ボイコット 投票者s 構成する a 相当な 部分 of the 選挙民.
