The Post and Courier reports on Rep. Ralph Norman’s proposal to eliminate through gerrymandering Rep. Jim Clyburn’s House seat.

According to the story, “a far-right faction of the S.C. Legislature says it will introduce legislation to redraw the lines to give the GOP near-guaranteed control of all of the state’s congressional seats instead of its current six.”

But it is also unclear that the plan will be successful: “Outside of the Statehouse’s far right Freedom Caucus, Norman’s idea has found no support from Republican legislative leaders to take up a mid-decade congressional map redraw even as Republicans hold supermajorities in both the S.C. House and Senate.”

The article details reasons for this reluctance: “They are not eager to revive a dispute that landed them in a long-running federal lawsuit over alleged racial gerrymandering of the 2020 congressional maps — a fight that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.”

The article then reviews the recent history of redistricting in South Carolina.
