South Carolina Republicans block plan to eliminate Clyburn’s House seat - The Washington Post
Overview
South Carolina Republicans previously rejected a proposed map that would have eliminated Rep. James E. Clyburn’s lone Democratic House seat amid warnings it could backfire for the GOP. After Gov. McMaster called a special session to pursue a new map, the Republican-led state Senate again voted against advancing that plan, effectively halting the effort to eliminate the majority-Black district for now. The repeated defeats lessen immediate prospects for the redraw but could lead to further political or legal battles down the line.
