Court Allows South Carolina to Use Previously Unconstitutional Congressional Map

A federal court in South Carolina has reinstated the lines for Congressional District 1, which were determined to be racially gerrymandered, allowing the 2024 elections to proceed with the disputed map. The court's decision comes as the Supreme Court is still considering whether to uphold the map. The ruling follows a previous decision invalidating the district's lines due to racial gerrymandering, but the court cited the impracticality of adopting a new plan before the upcoming election cycle.
