The Republican-led South Carolina Senate voted to reject a motion to advance a proposed congressional map, effectively halting the state's mid-decade redistricting effort for now. The vote stops Gov. Henry McMaster’s push to redraw districts that would have eliminated the state’s lone majority-Black district and jeopardized Rep. James Clyburn’s seat. The outcome reduces the immediate likelihood of map changes but leaves the potential for future political and legal conflicts over redistricting.
