"South Carolina Cleared to Use Unconstitutional Congressional Map for 2024 Elections"

A federal court has ruled that South Carolina Republicans can use their discriminatory congressional map for the 2024 election, despite an earlier finding that it discriminates against Black voters. The decision, which is a big win for Republicans, comes as the US supreme court has yet to issue a decision on the case. The ruling is significant for House Republicans as they try to maintain a slim majority in Congress. The delay in the case highlights how litigants have been able to take advantage of the Purcell principle to keep discriminatory maps and election practices in place for additional elections.
