Supreme Court Tackles South Carolina's Racial Gerrymandering Case

TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court heard arguments in a key racial gerrymandering case from South Carolina, with justices expressing skepticism about whether the challengers had provided enough evidence to prove that race was the predominant motive in drawing the district lines. Justices Kagan and Sotomayor pushed back, arguing that the circumstantial evidence was strong enough. The outcome of the case could have significant implications for future redistricting battles and the control of the U.S. House in 2024.
