☆ US Supreme Court wary of challenge to South Carolina voting map
  + stars: | 2023-10-11 | by ( John Kruzel | Cellino | Barnes Firms Battle Former Colleagues Over Fees | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
The United States Supreme Court building is seen as in Washington, U.S., October 4, 2023. In this case, the state legislature was accused of racial gerrymandering to reduce the influence of Black voters. The Republican legislators and other state officials who appealed to the Supreme Court told the justices that the map was designed to secure partisan advantages, a practice that the Supreme Court in 2019 decided was not reviewable by federal courts - unlike racial gerrymandering, which remains illegal. The new map increased the district's share of white voters while reducing its share of Black voters, which the lower court referred to as "bleaching." Clyburn's is the only one of South Carolina's House districts held by a Democrat.

The United States Supreme Court building is seen as in Washington, U.S., October 4, 2023. At issue is a map adopted last year by the Republican-led state legislature delineating the boundaries of one of South Carolina's seven U.S. House districts. A panel of three federal judges blocked the map for South Carolina's coastal 1st congressional district, which includes parts of Charleston. In this case, the state legislature was accused of racial gerrymandering to reduce the influence of Black voters. Clyburn's is the only one of South Carolina's House districts held by a Democrat.

☆ US Supreme Court takes up bid to revive South Carolina voting map deemed racially biased

WASHINGTON, May 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a bid by South Carolina officials to revive a Republican-crafted voting map that a lower court said had unconstitutionally "exiled" 30,000 Black voters from a closely contested congressional district. In this case, the Republican legislators were accused of racial gerrymandering to reduce the influence of black voters. South Carolina's Republican-controlled legislature adopted a new voting map last year following the 2020 U.S. census. The Republican map resulted in a 1st congressional district with a larger percentage of white, Republican-leaning voters. The judges – all three appointed by Democratic presidents – ruled that no elections can take place in the 1st district until it has been redrawn, prompting the South Carolina Republican officials to appeal to the Supreme Court.
☆ South Carolina congressional map deliberately hurt Black voters, judges rule
  + stars: | 2023-01-06 | by ( Joseph Ax | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Jan 6 (Reuters) - South Carolina's Republican-created congressional map deliberately split up Black neighborhoods in Charleston to diminish their voting power and must be redrawn, a three-judge federal panel ruled on Friday. The Republican-controlled legislature adopted the map last year after the 2020 U.S. Census as part of the once-a-decade redistricting process that all states complete. Friday's decision focused on the state's 1st congressional district, which has long been anchored in Charleston County. The judges – all three appointed by Democratic presidents – gave the state legislature until the end of March to submit a new map. No elections can take place in the 1st district until it has been redrawn, the panel said.
