Supreme Court to Review Claim South Carolina Gerrymandered Map to Weaken Black Voters

The Supreme Court will determine whether a South Carolina congressional district map diluted the power of Black voters.
A lower court ruled that Republicans deliberately re-drew district lines to move tens of thousands of Black voters into a neighboring district.
Republicans argue they considered partisan interests, not race, when re-drawing the map.
The case could impact how voting districts are drawn nationwide and grapples with the limits of gerrymandering.
The decision may also gut remaining provisions of the Voting Rights Act preventing discrimination in the redistricting process.
