Supreme Court Backs GOP in South Carolina Redistricting Dispute
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, upheld a Republican-drawn congressional district in South Carolina, reversing a lower court's decision that it was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The conservative majority rejected claims that the design improperly shifted Black voters, while the dissenting liberal justices argued it impedes racial-gerrymandering cases. The decision preserves the GOP-favored map beyond 2024 but sends the case back to the lower court for further proceedings.
