Court Next Stop For S C Redistricting
In Columbia the Legislature failed to override Gov. Carroll Campbell's veto on new House and Senate district lines, moving reapportionment to a federal court. The House vote 77-44 fell short of two thirds, Senate 73-47, largely along party lines, with Rep. Charles Stone the only Republican abstaining on one measure. Lawmakers will redraw districts every decade to reflect population shifts.
