South Carolina Republicans have declined to redraw their congressional districts ahead of the November elections, blocking a redistricting measure that would have eliminated the state\u2019s only Democrat-held seat.<\/p>\n

Before the state Senate voted to adjourn until June 10, a handful of Republicans sided with Democrats to kill the redrawn map recently passed by the House.<\/p>\n

The GOP-led state Senate also rejected a plan to schedule a new primary with the revised map that could have ousted longtime Democratic Rep. James Clyburn, essentially making Tuesday\u2019s early in-person voting in the state moot. Because early voting already began for the previously scheduled June primary, some Republicans determined that it was too late to reschedule.<\/p>\n

While Mr. Clyburn\u2019s seat is relatively safe this year, his district \u2014 the state\u2019s only majority-Black district \u2014 could be redrawn before 2028.<\/p>\n

President Trump had urged lawmakers to pass a redrawn map to evict Mr. Clyburn from his district, prompting Republican Gov. Henry McMaster to call a special session to redraw. State Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey, however, has long opposed redrawing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that our state is stronger with vibrant parties. I think we, as a whole, are stronger when we have a clash of ideas. I think that\u2019s true at the national level. I think it\u2019s true at the state level. We are stronger when we have a clash of ideas and we can discuss those policy goals,\u201d Mr. Massey said at the time. \u201cRepublicans are stronger when the Democrat Party is vibrant and viable.\u201d<\/p>\n

South Carolina was one of several states pursuing a mid-decade redistricting, as Republicans look to gain an advantage to keep the House majority and Democrats respond in kind in trying to take over the House.<\/p>\n

Several Republican-led Southern states moved quickly to take advantage of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision last month that struck down a majority-Black district in Louisiana and weakened minority protections under the federal Voting Rights Act. Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee either approved redrawn maps or are in the process.<\/p>\n

Hours before the South Carolina vote, federal judges blocked Alabama Republicans\u2019 redistricting plan. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said that the state would appeal the decision to the nation\u2019s highest court.<\/p>\n
