Supreme Court's Impact on Voting Rights Explored in South Carolina Democrat's House Bid

TL;DR Summary
South Carolina Democrat Michael B. Moore is running for Congress in the state's 1st congressional district, but his chances may depend on a Supreme Court ruling regarding a Republican-drawn map that allegedly diluted the power of Black voters. A federal court found that the map violated the Constitution's 14th and 15th Amendments by "exiling" 30,000 Black residents from the district. The Supreme Court's decision could impact the balance of power in the House and determine whether a Democrat has a realistic shot at winning the district. Similar cases in other states may also influence the outcome.
