最高法院重新审理路易斯安那州选区划分案,可能影响《投票权法案》

摘要

美国最高法院将重新审理路易斯安那州诉卡莱斯案,该案可能对《投票权法案》及多数少数族裔选区的设立产生重大影响。

美国最高法院定于2025年10月15日重新审理路易斯安那州诉卡莱斯案,该案可能对《投票权法案》(VRA)及多数少数族裔选区的设立产生深远影响。此前,法院于2025年6月27日决定将该案恢复至日程,进行重新辩论,凸显了该案在投票权和选区划分领域的重要性。

案件的核心是路易斯安那州2024年的国会选区地图,该地图在联邦地区法院认定之前的地图可能因削弱黑人选民投票力量而违反《投票权法案》后,新增了第二个黑人多数选区。新地图的合宪性正受到质疑,反对者认为,有意设立多数少数族裔选区可能侵犯《宪法》第十四修正案的平等保护条款。

最高法院已指示双方提交补充简报,讨论该州有意设立第二个多数少数族裔国会选区是否违反美国宪法第十四或第十五修正案。此指令强调了法院意图全面审查防止投票中的种族歧视与遵守宪法原则之间的平衡。

该案的裁决可能重新定义《投票权法案》在全国选区划分过程中的适用,或将改变确保少数族裔选民公平代表权的选区设立法律框架。
