US Supreme Court backs S. Carolina Republicans in race-based voting map fight
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday handed a victory to South Carolina Republicans, ruling against a challenge to an electoral map they devised that moved 30,000 Black residents out of a congressional district. The justices reversed a lower court's ruling that the Republican-drawn map violated the rights of Black voters under the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment, which guarantee equal protection under the law. The lower court on March 28, because of the length of time it took the Supreme Court to act, decided that the disputed map can be used in this year's congressional elections, a ruling that could undercut Democratic chances of winning control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
