NAACP proposes redistricting to boost minority voting strength in Aiken
The NAACP's City of Aiken chapter presents a plan for a fifth single-member district to increase minority voting power in Districts 1 and 2. The proposal would shift Southside population into these districts, aiming to raise minority share from 53-56 to about 58 percent, while arguing the current 42-1 plan risks erosion. The group plans to meet the mayor and city attorney before potentially approaching the U S Department of Justice.
