Supreme Court Upholds GOP-Drawn South Carolina Voting Map
TL;DR
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that South Carolina Republicans did not unlawfully consider race when redrawing a congressional district, making it harder for civil rights plaintiffs to bring racial gerrymandering claims. The decision supports the GOP's redistricting efforts and maintains the current district map, impacting future redistricting rules and potentially disadvantaging Black voters.
