Supreme Court to review racial gerrymandering in South Carolina.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case brought by South Carolina Republicans seeking to restore a congressional district that a lower court ruled was a racial gerrymander. The district in question covers Charleston County and is currently held by Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican. Republicans re-drew the boundaries following the 2020 census to strengthen Republican control of what had become a competitive district. Civil rights groups allege that Republicans targeted Black voters, moving almost 30,000 Black voters from the district into another one. The Supreme Court is currently weighing a separate case concerning racial gerrymandering in the South, this time over Republican-drawn congressional districts in Alabama.
