印第安纳州州长召集特别会议重新划定国会选区

摘要

州长迈克·布劳恩召集特别立法会议,考虑重新划定印第安纳州的国会边界,以配合全国共和党争取众议院控制权的努力。

印第安纳州州长迈克·布劳恩已宣布将于11月3日召开特别立法会议,旨在重新划定该州的国会选区。此举与全国共和党在2026年中期选举前加强其在美国众议院地位的努力相一致。

“我召集特别立法会议,是为了保护印第安纳州民免受其他州削弱他们在华盛顿发声权利的企图,并确保他们在国会中的代表权公平,”布劳恩表示。

此决定是在白宫施加更大压力之后作出的,前总统唐纳德·特朗普和副总统JD·范斯曾与印第安纳州立法者接触,倡导重新划分选区。尽管如此,州内共和党多数派内部仍存在分歧。参议院临时议长罗德里克·布雷的发言人表示,“重新划分选区的票数仍未到位。”

印第安纳州现有的国会代表团由七名共和党人和两名民主党人组成。拟议的重新划分可能改变这一平衡,特别是关注长期由民主党控制的第一国会选区。

特别会议还将处理将印第安纳州税法与近期联邦税法变更对齐的问题,以确保纳税人和报税人的一致性。

民主党领导人批评了这一举措。参议院民主党领袖谢莉·约德称此次会议为“以每位辛勤工作的印第安纳州民为代价的政治噱头”,并对缺乏新的普查数据或公众支持中期重新划分选区表示担忧。

特别会议的结果尚不确定,因共和党内部的分歧及潜在的法律挑战可能影响重新划分选区的进程。
