A voting rights group in South Carolina has taken legal action to challenge the state's U.S. House districts, alleging that they are unfairly skewed in favor of the Republican Party. The group, League of Women Voters, has petitioned the state's highest court to intervene and order a redraw of the congressional map.
The current congressional map was recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision, which dismissed claims of racial bias in the districting process. However, the League of Women Voters argues that the districts violate the state constitution's mandate for free and fair elections, asserting that the current setup gives Republicans an unfair advantage.
