The South Carolina state Senate on Tuesday rejected a proposal to extend their legislative session, making it appear unlikely the state will redraw its House map ahead of the November elections.
Five Republican state senators joined all Democrats in voting against a sine die agreement that would have allowed the chamber to consider redistricting after the legislative session ends this week.
While Tuesday’s vote doesn’t completely take redistricting off the table in the Palmetto State, it makes it less likely, at least for this year.
