Supreme Court Upholds GOP-Drawn South Carolina Voting Map

TL;DR Summary
The US Supreme Court ruled that South Carolina Republicans do not need to redraw their congressional map, overturning a lower court's decision that the map discriminated against Black voters. The 6-3 decision, which sends the case back for further consideration, is a significant win for Republicans and could allow more leeway in using partisanship as a proxy for race in redistricting. The ruling has sparked criticism for potentially enabling discriminatory voting practices.
