Isingeniso

Ukuhlela kabusha kumisa isisekelo sokumelelwa kwentando yeningi. Ngemva kokubalwa kwabantu kwaminyaka yonke, kusho ukudweba imingcele yezifunda zombuso nezombuso ukuze kuchazwe ukushintsha kwezindawo zomthetho. Le nqubo idlula kakhulu ukudwetshwa kwebalazwe elilula − okuyinqubela ngokuqondile ukuthi yimiphi imiphakathi ehlanganyela amazwi ezombangazwe, ukuthi ukhetho oluncintisanayo luba kanjani, nokuthi isimiso “umuntu oyedwa, ukuvota” kuyahlonishwa. Ngenxa yokuthi ukuvusehlisa izinga lokulingana kwamandla kungabangela ukulingana kweshumi leminyaka, ukuqonda ukuhlelwa kwayo kanye nezici kubalulekile kunoma ubani ofunda ukhetho lwaseMelika noma igalelo lomphakathi.

Kuyini Ukuhlenga?

Ukuvuselelwa kwenqubo engokomthetho nengokwezombangazwe yokubuyisela imingcele yesifunda sokukhetha. Umthetho-sisekelo wase-U.S. ufuna ukuba izihlalo zezifunda ezihlala eNdlu yabameleli zabelwe phakathi kwezifunda ezisekelwe kubantu, futhi iNkantolo Ephakeme iye yandisa imfuneko elinganayo yokuhlanganisa abantu ezindaweni zomthetho kanye. Njalo ngemva kweminyaka eyishumi, ngemva kokuqedwa kokubalwa kwabantu besizwe, izifunda kumelwe zilungise imigqa yazo yesifunda ukuze isifunda ngasinye sibe nenani elifanayo labantu. Umgomo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ivota yesakha ngalinye lithwala isisindo esifanayo, cishe ngobukhulu obulinganayo.

Ngaphandle kokulingana kwenani labantu, ukulinganisela kumelwe futhi kugcwalise ezinye izilinganiso ezingokwesiko zesifundazwe. Lokhu kuyahluka ngokwezwe kodwa ngokuvamile kuhlanganisa ukuhlangana (isifunda kumele sibe yindawo eyodwa ehlangene), ukuhlangana (ukungalingani okungalingani), ukuhlonipha izigaba ezingaphansi kwezombangazwe (njengezifunda noma izifunda zedolobha), kanye nokulondolozwa kwemiphakathi yabantu abanesithakazelo (amaqembu abantu abakhathalela izenhlalo, ezomnotho, noma amasiko ahlukene). Isilinganiso esinikeziwe esinikezwayo ngakunye sokubaluleka kungaguqula ibalazwe ngezindlela eziphawulekayo.

Isisekelo Esingokomlando Nesemithetho

Ukulungisa kwakuwumsebenzi onzima kakhulu, owawukhululekile kakhulu kubaphathi bakahulumeni. Lokho kwashintsha ngesinqumo seNkantolo Ephakeme ka-1962 . Carr, eyamisa ukuthi izinkantolo zikahulumeni zazingahlola izinselele zokuvikela u-Celate Claus. U-1964 ebusa [[FL:] Reynolds v. [umuntu oyedwa] wandisa izinga lokuvota” ezindaweni ezimele i-Rocemental Act. Kamuva, i-Votion Act of the Sement Protectional Protection. (kakhulu 2.2] yenqabela amasuzuyiselo okuvolo oluthiweyo oluhlanganisa ukuvota kwezinhlanga noma ulimi oluvamile. Le velknmental i-cromentiate i-morigion, elungele ukuvolue.

Isizathu Sokuba Kulungiswe Izindaba

Ukuvuleka akuyona nje inqubo yombuso we-bureaucrates. Yisenzakalo sezombangazwe esineziphakamiso eziphakeme nemiphumela efinyelela kude.

  • Uphawu olumele: ngaphandle kokuguqula okuvamile, ukushintshwa kwenani labantu kungadala izigodi ezingalingani kakhulu, kuphule inhloso yentando yeningi eyisisekelo yokuthi wonke amavoti kufanele alingane.
  • Parisan Balance:[ Indlela edwetshwa ngayo imingcele inganquma ukuthi yimaphi iqembu elilawula isishaya-mthetho iminyaka eyishumi, lithonya umthetho kusukela ekunakekeleni impilo kuya kumalungelo okuvota.
  • [ I-commony Commonion: Imigqa ehlonipha omakhelwane, amaqembu ezinhlanga, noma izifunda zezomnotho ivumela amaqembu athanda isithakazelo esifanayo kumanxusa akhethayo aqonda izidingo zawo.
  • Ukukhokha umbango:[ Lapho izigodi zincintisana, izikhulu ezikhethiwe zisabela kakhulu ezingeni. Uma izifunda zilondekile, iziqu zibhekene nokucindezela okuncane kokuhlehla noma ukuthulula kabusha.
  • [[QUTY:0] I-Ligaal Compliance: Amazwe aphula izindinganiso zokulungisa asengozini yokumangalela okubizayo, ukungenela kukahulumeni, kanye ne-"igalelo elibi kakhulu") ukudwetshwa futhi kwamabalazwe ngenkosi ekhethekile.

Inqubo Elungisayo Ngokulandelana

Nakuba isikhathi esiqondile sihluka ngokwezwe, ngokuvamile ukuhlaziya kulandela ukulandelana okunqunyiwe okwenzeka ngemva kwezinyanga ezingu - 18 kuya kwezingu - 24 kubhaliwe.

Isinyathelo Sokuqala: Ukuhlolwa Kokwaziswa Nokukhululwa

Le nqubo iqala ngokubalwa kwabantu okuthathelwe indawo, okwenziwa yi-U.S. Censureal Bureau. Ngemva kokubala izakhamuzi zonke, iBureau ikhipha amafayela amabili abalulekile: P.L. 94-171, anikeza ingqikithi yabantu efinyelela isilinganiso sebhuloho, kanye nokwaziswa okuningi okunemininingwane eminingi yenani labantu okusetshenziselwa ukuhlolwa kwe-Voing Rights Act. Ngenxa yezimfuneko ezingokomthetho, amazwe amaningi awakwazi ukugcina amabalazwe awo aze athole le mininingwane, ikakhulukazi ngasekupheleni konyaka ngemva kokubalwa kwabantu. [[FLT:] i-Rebitual Officeting Office Office inikeza amathuluzi nesiqondiso.

Isinyathelo Sesibili: Ukuthola Inani Lama - seats

I-Congregationalationment ." ukunikezwa kwezihlalo zendlu ezingu-45 phakathi kwezifunda-85"is ezibalwa yi-Census Bureau ngokusebenzisa indlela ebizwa ngokuthi indlela yesilinganiso esilinganayo. Izwe elizuza inani labantu lingathola izihlalo ezengeziwe, kuyilapho lisho ukuthi inani labantu lingase lilahlekelwe izihlalo. Lokhu kubangela isidingo sokuvuleka kwezindawo ezisezweni ngalinye, ngisho nalezo ezingenazinguquko, ngoba ukushintsha kwenani labantu kuthinta nezifundazwe zikahulumeni.

Isinyathelo 3: Ukudweba Ibalazwe

Lena isigaba esigxekwa kakhulu kwezombangazwe. Ezizweni eziningi, isishaya-mthetho sidweba amabalazwe, ngokuvamile ngombusi ophethe i-veto. Nokho, inani elandayo lezifundakazi liye laphendukela ekuthunyeleni ithonya elizimele noma i-bipartisan ukuze linciphe ithonya labashokobezi. Ama-drowa asebenzisa i-software ekhethekile ehlanganisa izingqimba zokubala abantu, imininingwane yamanani abantu, imiphumela yokukhetha, nemigqa yesigodi yangaphambili. Kumelwe alinganisele izibalo eziningi kuyilapho ngokuvamile ezama ukufinyelela inzuzo engaphezulu (a) inqubo esetshenziswayo lapho ithathelwe kude kakhulu, i-gerrymermaning.

Isinyathelo 4: Ukukhishwa Kwenkulumo Yomphakathi Nezindlebe

Izifunda eziningi zidinga ukulalelwa komphakathi ngaphambi kokuba kuthathwe amabalazwe. Izakhamuzi namaqembu okuzikhuthuza zingafaka ubufakazi, zithumele amabalazwe azo ahlongozwayo, futhi ziphakamise izimpikiswano ngobandlululo lobuhlanga noma lobuhlanga. Izifunda ezimbalwa ziye zasebenzisa amabalazwe e-inthanethi e-inthanethi ukuze zivumele noma ubani ukudweba futhi athumele ibalazwe. Ukufakwa komphakathi kuyisivikelo esibucayi, kodwa ithonya lazo liyahluka kakhulu kuye ngokuthi inqubo icace kangakanani nokuthi iqembu elikhulu lizimisele yini ukuveza incazelo.

Isinyathelo Sesihlanu: Ukuvunyelwa Nokubukezwa Okungokomthetho

Ngemva kokuqeda ibalazwe, isishaya-mthetho sombuso noma ikhomishane yamavoti ukuze siwamukele. Izigodi ezintsha zisuke seziwumthetho, kodwa cishe zingaphansi kwezinselele zomthetho ngokushesha. Imithetho ingase ithathe imingcele yobuhlanga, i-gerrymanidering, ukungalingani kwabantu, noma ukwephulwa kwe-Voting Rights Act. Izinkantolo zesifunda ne-ogantinet zingavimba noma zilungise amabalazwe aphula umthetho noma imithetho. Kwezinye izigaba, izinkantolo zingathatha yonke inqubo yokulawula i-regiontria lapho izigeqe zifafa noma ziveza amabalazwe angekho emthethweni.

Isinyathelo 6: Ukugcwalisa Izimfanelo Ezikhethwayo

Amabalazwe avunyelwe asetshenziswa okokuqala emjikelezweni wokhetho olandelayo. Abaphathi-zincwadi kumelwe banqume ukuthi bahlala esifundani, futhi abavoti bangazithola besezifundazweni ezintsha nabameleli abasha. Lokhu kungadala ukudideka, ikakhulukazi uma izigodi zinqamula imingcele yomphakathi ojwayelekile. Abaphathi be-costation bahlanganisa amarekhodi okuvota nemingcele yesifunda ngokuvumelana.

Izicelo Zokukhetha

Izinzuzo Zengxenye Nokudla Imithi

Ukulungisa isimo kunikeza ithuluzi elinamandla lokusebenzisa ubandlululo. Ngokupakisha abavoti babaphisi ezifundeni ezimbalwa (ukuphapha) nokusakaza abasekeli beqembu elikhulu ezifundeni eziningi (ukujikijela), iqembu lingathola inani elingenakulinganiswa lezihlalo ezihlobene nesabelo salo sokuvota. Lomkhuba, owaziwa ngokuthi i-gerrymaning, uye wathuthukisa kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwemininingwane ephezulu ye-athonsio kanye nebalazwe le-algamentic. I-Brennan Center ye- Justice [ Imizamo yokuguqula i-gerryman i-germanting nge-omatilationssion.

Umthetho olawulayo uveza imiphumela eyingozi emncintiswaneni wokukhetha. Lapho izigodi zidonswa ukuba zibe nezinhlangothi eziphephile (umz., isifunda esivota njalo >5% embangweni owodwa), ukhetho oluvamile luba olungaphikiswa. lugxila ekuvoti abayinhloko, oluholela ezikhundleni ezinkulu. UVoter angakwehla ngenxa yokuthi izakhamuzi zinomuzwa wokuthi ivoti yazo ayibalulekile. INkantolo Ephakeme inqume ukuthi izinkantolo zikahulumeni azinakuzwa i-ggerrydering isholo (njengoba ku-] Rucomo v. Imfast[FFFLT:1], [19]), kodwa isimo senkantolo nebhola kuye kwangenela kulendaba.

Isivikelo Sokungafaneleki

Amadirowa angazidweba imigqa evikela abezombangazwe ngokuhlanganisa amakheli abo asekhaya kanye nokuhlanganisa abavoti abanobungane lapho besusa izindawo eziyingozi. Lomkhuba, ngokuvamile obizwa ngokuthi isivikelo esiqinile, unciphisa icebo futhi ungavikela izishayamthetho ekuphenduleni. Ezindabeni lapho isishaya-mthetho silawula khona ukugcinwa kwe-redification, ukuhlelwa kweqembu elikhulu kuvame ukuvikelwa kakhulu. Ezinye izizwe zinqabela ngokuqondile ukusebenzisa amakheli e-cuncbicb njengendium.

Ukumelela Okuncane

IVoing Rights Act ifuna ukuba amaqembu amancane abe nethuba elifanayo lokukhetha abavoti abakhethelwe wona. Ngokwesiko, lokhu kuvame ukusho ukwakha izigodi ezineziqu eziningi lapho iqembu lesizwe noma ulimi olumbalwa lakha khona iningi lezakhamuzi ezisesigabeni sokuvota. Abaxhasi baphikisa ngokuthi lezi zifunda ziye zandisa kakhulu inani lamaBlack, amaHispanic, nabameleli baseMelika abancintisanayo. Abagxeki baphikisa ngokuthi bangafaka inani elincane labavoti ezifundeni, ngaleyo ndlela benciphisa ithonya labo ezifundeni ezizungezile. Ukulinganisa phakathi kokuvikela amalungelo amavota abambalwa nokugweba igeji bezinhlanga kungomunye wemibazwe efuna ukuvota okunga.

Ukuzinikela Nokuhlanganyela

Ukuqinisekisa kuthinta indlela abavoti abaqaphela ngayo ithonya labo. Uma izigodi zincintisana kakhulu, abavoti bangase babe nomuzwa wokuthi amavoti abo anenjongo futhi abuye ngamazinga aphakeme. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, lapho izifunda ziphephile kakhulu eqedweni elilodwa, ikakhulukazi ezizweni lapho izifunda eziningi zingaba nezithakazelo, umvoti angahlulwa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinguquko ezivamile zemingcele zingadida abantu abavotayo: abantu bangase bangazi ukuthi bahlala kusiphi isifunda noma yisiphi isifunda esisebaleni sabo, okuholela ekutheni isigaba esiphansi esithatha igabeni semijaho yombano.

Izinselele Ekulungiseni Izindawo

Gerrymandering

I-Gerrymandering ilokhu iyinselele engapheli kakhulu. Nakuba bobabili abangenele umkhuba lapho belawula lenqubo, inguquko yanamuhla ixhomeke ekwazisweni okukhulu nasebunjweni be-programu eqondile. Ezinye izifundazwe ziye zaba nesimo esihlotshiswe ngokunedumelana okungathandekiyo, ngakho impi ayisona isibonakaliso esinokwethenjelwa sokungabi namthetho. I-partisan gerrymanindering ayinalo therapy ngemva , ngakho impi iye yadlulela ezinkantolo nasezindinganisweni zenkantolo nasemizamweni zokulungisa. Advoging ayiyona izimpawu ezithembekile [[FLT:] Konke Mayelana ne-Redition [FLT]]

Izinselele Ezingokomthetho Nokuxoshwa

Cishe umjikelezo ngamunye wokulungisa uveza igagasi lokumangalela. Izinselele zingaveza ukuhlelwa kwebala lesizwe esihleliwe, ukwephulwa “umuntu oyedwa, indinganiso yevoti”, noma ukwehluleka ukudweba amabalazwe ngokuvumelana nezimfuneko zomthetho-sisekelo wezwe. Ukuqamba kungathatha iminyaka eminingi, ngezinye izikhathi kubangele ukuba kukhethwe ngaphansi kwamabalazwe enkantolo ahlelwe ngokwezintambo zesikhashana. Lokhu kungabangela ukuba umkhankaso womkhankaso ungabi nathemba emphakathini. Ngo-2022, amazwe amaningana abona amabalazwe egumbuqelwa izinkantolo ngenxa yokungagcono kwe-grion gerder systrion der ngaphansi kwemithetho-mthetho.

Ukwethenjwa Umphakathi Nokubona Ingaphandle

Ukuvuleka kwezindawo ngokuvamile kwenzeka ngemva kweminyango evaliwe, ngaphandle kokuhlola komphakathi. Ezizweni ngaphandle kokuzihlela, iningi lingawadwebela ngasese amabalazwe, kuholele ekumangaleleni ngemisebenzi yegumbi lokulala. Ngisho nalapho kuqulwa amandlebe, zingazizwa njengemithetho elandelwayo. Ochwepheshe baye babiza amanyathelo amaningi okuveza ukukhanya, kuhlanganise namathuluzi omphakathi okubala, aphilayo anezinzwa ezivaliwe, kanye nezikhokhwama ezizimele. Uma izakhamuzi zibheka u-redigateings njengengenabulungisa, ukuthemba kuzo zonke izimiso ze-votor zisheka.

Ukushintsha Kwenani Labantu Nokushintsha Kwesimo Sendawo

I-United States iyanda futhi ihamba ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene. Ukukhula okusheshayo ezindaweni zasemaphandleni nase-Sun Belt, kanye nokuncipha kwenani labantu emaphandleni nase-Rust Belt, kubangela ukucindezela okungapheli emigqeni yesigodi. Izindawo ezinemibala ziyanda ezindaweni eziningi, kodwa ngokuvamile zibalwa kancane kakhulu ekubalweni kwabantu noma zifakwe ezifundeni ezilinganisela ithonya labo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umqedazwe we-COVOVID-19 wabangela ukuba kube nokwephuza ukudweba kwemida. I-United States ayinakuqeda ukudweba izinhlu zekhanda ngesikhathi, izinselele ezingokomthetho, nokhetho oluyinhloko lwezwe lungaqedangaqedangaqedanga.

Ubuchwepheshe Nemininingwane

Ubuchwepheshe bokudweba obengeziwe bobubili busiza futhi buvimbela ukuvuleka okulungile. Kwesinye isandla, buvumela amashadi amabalazwe ukuba alingane kahle nezimiso zomthetho. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, yenza ukuba kuhlinzwe kakhulu. Imithetho yamabalazwe ingadala izinkulungwane zamabalazwe angenzeka futhi ikhethe lawo andisa inzuzo ngokuhlala ngaphakathi kwemingcele engokomthetho. Amanye amazwe aye azama ukuvimbela ukusetshenziswa kwemitayela ye-internation ebalazwe, kodwa kunzima. Ukwanda kokusetshenziswa kwe-redipluging Projective kuholele ekubizeni uku-operation i-meadry nokukhanya kwe-algamessages.

Imizamo Yenguquko Nekusasa Lokuvuselelwa Kwezindawo

Isabela ekufuneni inguquko engapheli, igagasi lenguquko liye lakhula kakhulu. Kusukela ngo-2000, amazwe angaphezu kweshumi nambili aye adala izikhomishane ezizimele noma ezithi redpicolificification, asusa inqubo kubenzi bemithetho. I-Citizens Redicorigialing Commission ne- Independent Redicialigialing Commission ivame ukuvezwa njengezibonelo. Le zinhlangano zigcina ukuzwa komphakathi, zisebenzise imibandela ecacile, futhi zidinga ivoti ye-covoti ye-computer ukuze zivume amabalazwe. Ubufakazi bokuqala bakuqala basikisela ukuthi amabalazwe amishane anci anciswe kakhulu, anciphisanayo, ambalwa kakhulu izinselele ezingokomthetho.

Izindlela zokuthatha ibhola ezifundazweni ezinjenge-Ohio ne-Utah ziye zabeka imingcele futhi endleleni izigodi ezingadwetshwa ngayo, njengokuvinjelwa kwamabalazwe athanda umkhakha ngokungafanele. Ezinye izihlongozo zidlulela phambili, zisunduza ukunqanda ukucwacwasana okususa ubandlululo lomuntu. Kodwa izindlela zobu mthetho-algoriths zinezinselele zazo. Imininingwane efakiweyo nesinqumo kusabonisa izindinganiso zabantu, futhi “imithetho engathathi hlangothi” ingaveza amabalazwe angahlosile amaqembu athile.

Kuhulumeni, amafakthe efana neFour the People Act ne-John Lewis Voting Rights Advance Act baye bazama ukwenza izindinganiso zokulungisa imibandela yesizwe, kodwa baye banqanda eKhongomeni. Ngokubona ubunzima bezombangazwe benguquko kahulumeni, izinguquko ezithembisa kakhulu zenzeka ngokwezinga likahulumeni ngezinyathelo zezakhamuzi zesinqumo senkantolo. Kubafundisi nabafundi, ukuhlala benolwazi ngenguquko yokuguqula akuyona nje indlela yemfundo yemfundo, kodwa kuyindlela yokuqonda ukuthi imithetho yentando yeningi ibhalwe futhi ibhalwe kanjani.

Isiphetho

Ukulungisa isimo kuyisici esibucayi kodwa ngokuvamile esingaqondwa kahle kokhetho lwaseMelika. Kunquma ukuthi ubani okhethwayo, yiziphi izinqubo eziqhubekayo, nokuthi iziphi izinqumo ezizwakalayo. Lenqubo iye yaqala ukuphikisana ngeshumi leminyaka ngalinye, njengoba amathuluzi okudaya andisa izimpi nezindawo zomphakathi zishintsha izifunda. Kodwa ukuqasha futhi kunikeza ithuba lokuthembisana kwezakhamuzi: izakhamuzi zingahlanganyela ekulaleleni obala, zithumele amabalazwe, futhi zicindezele ukuze abantu babone ukuthi bangcono futhi bangabukelwa ngokulunga. Inselele yesimiso sentando yeningi yentando yeningi iwukwakha isimiso esilinganisela ukulingana kwemibuko, amalungelo amancane, ukuncintisana, nokuthemba umphakathi. Ukuqonda lokhu kuyisinyathelo sokuqala sokuqinisekisa ukuthi amabalazwe sidonsa ngempela abantu.
