A federal court has ruled that this year's congressional elections in South Carolina will be conducted using a map previously deemed unconstitutional and discriminatory against Black voters. The decision comes as the Supreme Court has yet to issue a ruling on the case, with primary elections in South Carolina scheduled for June 11 and early voting starting on May 28.
The case centers on South Carolina's 1st Congressional District, currently represented by Republican Rep. Nancy Mace. Last year, a panel of federal judges ordered the state to redraw the district after finding that race was used as a proxy for partisan affiliation, violating the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
