COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina Senate on Thursday adopted a congressional map expected to protect the 6-1 Republican advantage in the U.S. House for years to come.
The upper chamber passed the plan 26-15, along party lines, after nearly five hours of debate.
Unless the House concurs with the Senate's map, which is a possibility, the chambers will now need to hash out the differences between their adopted proposals before moving forward with a single redrawn map.
