The Supreme Court announced Monday it will decide whether a three-judge panel was correct to throw out South Carolina’s map for its 1st District.
The case could decide the contours of the seat currently held by second-term Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, as well as changes to other districts in the state. The lower court panel’s decision has been stayed until after the Supreme Court decides the case.
An individual voter and the state’s NAACP filed the lawsuit in 2021, arguing that state legislators manipulated the congressional map to minimize the voting power of Black voters.
