South Carolina redistricting: Governor forces lawmakers back to session to eliminate lone majority-Black district - Democracy Docket
Overview
Gov. Henry McMaster abruptly called lawmakers back into a special session to redraw South Carolina’s congressional map and eliminate the state’s lone majority-Black district, reversing an earlier refusal to convene. That mid-decade effort culminated in the state Senate voting against advancing the new map, which stops the governor’s plan for now. The episode increases the likelihood of continued political and legal disputes over redistricting in the state.
