• Ein Staatsgericht in Pennsylvania hat Wahlbeamte angewiesen, bis Juni 2026 eine neue Karte der Kongresswahlbezirke zu erstellen, da die derzeitige, von Republikanern unterstützte Karte die Stimmkraft schwarzer und Latino-Gemeinschaften in Philadelphia und Pittsburgh unrechtmäßig verwässert habe.
• Der Richter stellte fest, dass die bestehenden Wahlbezirke Wähler aus Minderheiten in einer Handvoll „sicherer“ demokratischer Sitze konzentrierten, was ihren Einfluss in benachbarten, wettbewerbsintensiven Bezirken einschränkte und gegen staatliche Verfassungsgarantien für eine gleichberechtigte Vertretung verstieß.
• Die Entscheidung gefährdet die Hoffnungen der Republikaner, im Jahr 2026 eine knappe Mehrheit im Repräsentantenhaus zu behaupten, und könnte die Legislative in ein gerichtlich überwachtes Redistricting-Verfahren zwingen, falls sich die Gesetzgeber nicht auf eine Ersatzkarte einigen können.
