Supreme Court Upholds GOP-Drawn Voting Map in South Carolina
TL;DR
The Supreme Court's conservative majority upheld a South Carolina congressional district map, rejecting claims that it discriminated against Black voters. The 6-3 decision overturned a lower court's ruling that the redistricting violated the 14th Amendment by using race as a proxy for partisan affiliation. The ruling has sparked criticism from liberal justices and civil rights advocates, who argue it undermines protections against racial gerrymandering.
