South Carolina House Republicans voted on May 6 to open the door to redrawing the state’s congressional map in a Southern push for mid-decade reconsiderations after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on minority voting protections.
The vote, which passed along party lines, would enable lawmakers to return after the regular session ends and draw updated boundaries for the state’s seven U.S. House districts.
