Colombia – Wednesday, the State Supreme Court supported the voting lines of the Southern Carolina Congress, deciding that there is nothing unconstitutional for guerrilla Germanic.
This decision means a second time in less than two years, when the Supreme Court confirmed the map of the legislature after 2020. Census.
“After many years of litigation, it is only for the federal and state’s supreme courts to tell us what we knew all the time-I was grateful to see that the issue was finally resolved,” said Senate President Tom Alexander, R-Walhalla.
After 2024 May The US Supreme Court ruled that the lines were not racially discriminated against, the voters ‘voters’ league went to court using the Republican arguments that the reorganization had a party, not race. Her lawsuit states that legislators violated the State’s Constitution on a map, which intentionally granted republicans an advantage in the 1st district, making it easier to hold a place after it is assigned to one term.
The judges disagreed unanimously.
The Constitution of the State protects the person’s right to vote. However, “there are no constitutional provisions or statutes relating to, prohibiting or restricting partisan Germanmander in the process of redistribution of the convention in South Carolina,” Judge George James wrote in the majority of Judge John Lew and Letitia Verin.
He therefore concluded that a partisan Germanmanding action is a “political issue” outside the court.
Chief Judge John Kittredge suggested a more limited picture. Although he agreed that the court could not resolve this particular claim, it may be that “the future challenge can provide more developed constitutional violations,” he wrote in a separate opinion signed by Judge Garlison Hill.
In response to the female voters’ league, the decision had objections: it shows that only the legislator can apply to the partisan, and that is the same body responsible for the problem.
“Partisan Gerrymandinger is an attack on the right to vote as citizens as citizens as citizens,” said Lynn Teague, a league vice president, adding that the group “will not stop fighting for fair redistribution.”
It encouraged Southern Carolinians to demand a constitutional amendment to protect their vote. But it will require the blessing of the legislature. State law prevents voters led by a referendum. South Carolina’s Supermary of Both Palace only accepts the question of the voting bulletin asks for voters to approve the amendment of the Constitution.
This decision is made in the same way as other countries overflow the Lines of Congress in the middle of the country usually ten years to create a safer place before 2026. The elections, which will determine whether Republicans are controlling the US Palace.
South Carolina judges were essentially equivalent to such behavior, said Allen Chaney, the legal director of the South Carolina American Civil Freedom Union, which represented the league.
“By washing the handwriting hands, the court notes that the idea that politicians can play the system to maintain their power and bring even greater establishment of political extremism,” he said.

However, in his opinion, Kittredge specifically pointed out the parties dominated by the states as a “anxiety perspective”, regardless of legitimacy.
This trend can only end with a new US Supreme Court ruling, said Kittredge.
“We will see and continue to see the race of the state lawmakers to further reduce and possibly delete the representation of the state minority political party in Congress,” he wrote. “These results may actually comply with the Constitution and laws of each relevant state, but they also reduce our Constitutional Republic.”
The Senate’s GOP has again announced a victory, rejecting the challenge of an attempt by liberal activists to cancel the reproduction of Republican redistribution, which Gubernator Henry McMaster signed by law in 2022. January
“We worked hard to ensure that the South Carolina districts reflect South Carolina’s voters’ policy,” said Shane Massey, the leader of the Senate, R-Edfeield. “If the ACLU and Women’s League Voter League is not satisfied with the results of the ballot box, they may be submerged in their left positions, such as gender reference to children, and take a step with South Carolina’s values.”
He also made a clear south Carolina not to connect to the steps of other states to the subsequent redemption lines.
With six out of seven places of Congress that Republicans occupied, it is not necessary: ”So much wins – and we are not tired yet,” the report states.
The first South Carolina district has long been reliable for Republicans. But on the coast, the explosion of the population turned it into a purple. 2018 Democrat Joe Cunningham for the first time in almost 40 years, turned the Blue place for the first time.
Two years later, Mace overthrew it with a 1 percentage point, turning back to the Republican control. After removing the lines, Mace easily won 2022. Before Democrat Annie Andrews. 2024. She won even larger margins without even recognizing her Democrats’ challenge.
As the Mace among the Republicans looking for the Governor’s Manor next year, the race to replace it in the area along the southern coast of the state is increasing.
Jay Byars, a member of the Dorčester County Council on Wednesday, became the fourth Republican to announce his proposal for a place. He joined the representative of the state representative Mark Smith (who replaced Mace at the State Palace), withdrew from Alex Pelbath from the Air Force and withdrew from the pensioner Sam McCown.
Four Democrats also announced proposals: FedEx driver Robert Beers III, lawyer Mac Deford, Aircraft Mechanic Max Diaz and State Democratic Party organizer Mara Rivera-Vazquez.
