Legislators Weigh Remap After Supreme Court Ruling
In Columbia lawmakers debate whether South Carolina must redraw congressional and legislative districts after a Supreme Court decision. A panel may examine lines to ensure minority voting rights, with potential reconfiguration forcing senators andHouse members to run again. Lawyers for black groups say a redraw is likely to protect minority rights. Democratic leaders discount new plans, while the statewide reapportionment advisory committee argues lines fail to create enough districts for black candidates.
