得克萨斯州州议会议员为抵制选区划分议案通过集体乘车逃离该州
一、得克萨斯州重划选区的选战进一步升级
据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）2025年8月4至5日的报道，得克萨斯州民主党州众议员为抵制该州修改选区图而集体逃会的事件升级。得克萨斯州众议院对集体逃离该州的民主党州议员签发民事逮捕令，得州州长指示该州安全部门帮助将逃会议员抓回得州，并罢免逃会议员。
8月3日，为阻挠共和党人在唐纳德·特朗普总统支持下策划的对得克萨斯州联邦国会众议院选区地图的重新划分，得州众议院民主党人采取集体逃离得州的方式予以抵制；导致州众议院会议的出席议员人数无法达到法定的三分之二多数而无法议事，众议院达斯汀·伯罗斯被迫宣布休会。（参见本号《选战开打、喜剧上演：得州议员因选区重划逃会，民主党拟全面反制》一文）
得州州众议院议长宣布将对逃会的民主党州议员发出逮捕令
为应对这一尴尬局面，留存该州参加会议的州众议院共和党议员通过一项议案，允许对逃离该州的州议员签发民事令状。伯罗斯在8月4日下午在州议会未能达到法定人数后的新闻发布会上表示：“我希望明天能有更多议员到场，但我感到失望的是，当一些议员依据宪法履行职责时，另一些人却不在本州，他们在纽约、芝加哥，在那些他们并不代表的地方。”
伯罗斯称，他已与得克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特交谈，阿博特提出可让该州公共安全部协助“达到法定人数并推进本次特别会议”。阿博特还威胁称，将罢免8月4日未出席议会会议的议员，称缺席等同于“放弃或丧失民选的州公职”。阿博特早些时候还在一份声明中表示，他已下令公共安全部逮捕8月4日下午未出席的众议院民主党人。

二、得州选区重划对共和民主两党在全国各州的政治斗争产生巨大影响
美国有线电视新闻网2025年8月5日的分析报道认为，围绕得克萨斯州选区重划的政治斗争，已在全美产生重大影响。其他共和党主导的州正考虑效仿得克萨斯州的做法，
佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯最近也提出在本州进行中期选区重划的想法，他在7月告诉记者：“我认为本州的选区分配不公。”
俄亥俄州被要求在今年秋季重新绘制其国会选区地图，因为该州最高法院裁定2022年的地图违宪。
据《潘趣碗新闻》报道，白宫正施压密苏里州重划选区，目标是该州仅有的两个民主党控制席位之一：众议员伊曼纽尔·克利弗的席位，而在该州，共和党占据其余六个众议院席位。白宫还敦促印第安纳州重划选区，该州九个席位中有两个由民主党控制。
与此同时，民主党占优的深蓝州的民主党州长们正策划报复。加利福尼亚州、伊利诺伊州、马里兰州、新泽西州和纽约州的州长打算通过自身的十年中期选区重划举措进行报复。他们表示，将考虑重新绘制本州国会选区地图，以增加更多倾向民主党的选区和席位。
Texas House moves to allow civil arrest warrants for Democrats who fled state. By Maureen Chowdhury, Elise Hammond and Aditi Sangal, CNN. Mon August 4, 2025
Texas House adjourns without quorum: Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows announced that a “quorum is not present” after the state House convened without many Democrats, and the chamber adjourned until tomorrow afternoon. State HouseDemocrats fled Sunday in a bid to block a partisan redrawing of the state’s congressional map, which was orchestrated by Republicans with the support of President Donald Trump.
• Possible consequences for absent lawmakers: The remaining lawmakers in the House approved a motion that will allow civil warrants to be issued for the lawmakers who fled the state. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott previously threatened to remove lawmakers who didn’t show up today, equating an absence to an “abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office.”
Texas House speaker: “I have signed the civil arrest warrants” for absent Democrats
From CNN's David Wright
Dustin Burrows, the Republican speaker of the Texas House, urged absent Democrats to return to the state, saying that he had “signed the civil arrest warrants” and that he was working with Texas law enforcement “to locate members.”
“I am hopeful there will be more members here tomorrow, but I am disappointed that while these members are here reporting for their duty under the constitution, others are out of the state, in New York, in Chicago, in places they do not represent, obviously getting lots of attention at this time,” Burrows said at a news conference this afternoon after the state legislature failed to reach a quorum.
Burrows said he had spoken to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who had offered the state’s Department of Public Safety to help “establish a quorum and do this special session.”
Abbott said in a statement earlier that he ordered DPS to arrest House Democrats who did not show up this afternoon, though it’s unclear how the directive will work for lawmakers who are out of state.
How Texas redistricting efforts could have wider impacts around the country. From CNN's Eric Bradner. CNN, August 5, 2025.
Texas state lawmakers board a bus following a press conference in Carol Stream, Illinois, on Sunday. The group of Democratic lawmakers left the state earlier that day so a quorum could not be reached during a special session called to redistrict the state.
The outcome of the political battle over Texas’ redistricting effort is already having major implications across the country.
Other Republican-dominated states are considering following Texas’ lead as Democratic governors weigh their options to retaliate with their own mid-decade redistricting efforts.
Republican efforts: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently floated the idea of a mid-cycle redistricting in his state, telling reporters in July, “I think the state malapportioned.”
Ohio is required to redraw its congressional districts this fall because the 2022 map was struck down as unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court.
Punchbowl News reported the White House is pushing Missouri to redraw its districts to target one of just two Democratic-held seats, that of Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, in a state where the GOP holds the other six House seats. The White House has also urged Indiana to redraw districts in which Democrats hold two of nine seats.
Democrats pushing back: Meanwhile, Democratic governors in deep-blue states are plotting retribution. The governors of California, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey and New York have suggested they will explore redrawing their own congressional district maps to add more Democratic-leaning seats, or have left the door open to doing so.
The redistricting battles cannot carry on without deadlines. In many states, including Texas, candidates must file for next year’s primary ballots before the end of this year.
