Deep dives

Supreme Court ruling on South Carolina voting map

The Supreme Court's conservative majority reversed a finding that South Carolina's voting map was a racial gerrymander, benefiting Republicans. The court determined the map was based on politics, not race, which helps Republicans in maintaining control of the House. This ruling sets a precedent that makes it harder for voters nationwide to challenge gerrymandered maps.
