Cain backs single member districts for state House plan

Rep. C Marshall Cain argues single member districts are the fairest path for reapportionment, claiming they better reflect population, reduce campaigning costs, and improve representational quality while noting potential county-line disruptions and past multi member constraints. He cites Richland and Greenville counties as examples of underrepresentation and says a Justice Department approved plan would avoid a rejected approach. The plan under debate would replace the current multi member districts with single seats across counties, though crossing county lines could affect some home rule counties.
