SUMMARY
The Supreme Court upheld a Republican-drawn congressional district in South Carolina, reversing a lower court's ruling that had deemed the boundaries an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. In a 6-3 decision, the justices approved a design that enhances the GOP's advantage in Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-S.C.) district, aiding Republicans in their bid to regain House control. The Court's majority dismissed claims that the new map unlawfully moved 30,000 Black Charleston-area voters to another district.
