Delegation Draws Own Remap Plan for Aiken County
Aiken County House members draft a local reapportionment plan to reduce split precincts while preserving at least four resident representatives. Thomas E.

The plan seeks districts largely inside county lines, shifting Sharpe’s district away from Lexington County.
