South Carolina State Representative Jordan Pace proposes a new congressional map, aiming to make the Sixth Congressional District more competitive for Republicans. Currently represented by Democrat James Clyburn, the district was created to ensure fair representation for Black voters. Paces map expands the district significantly, sparking debate and criticism from Democrats like Mac Deford, who argue its a political weapon targeting a historically fair representation district. The push for redistricting gains momentum as U.S. Representative Ralph Norman calls for the state legislature to redraw district lines to remove Clyburn from office. Clyburn remains unconcerned, while the Supreme Courts potential challenge to a similar Black majority district in Louisiana could have significant implications for Democratic-held districts across the South.
