Blacks make up 28% of South Carolina ‘s Population…They could Lose their sole US House District

They ONLY have One Majority US House District?

The 6th…..

It IS Democratic….

And the state Republican lawmakers want to get rid of THAT?

Republicans in the South Carolina House cast aside Democratic suggestions and objections Tuesday as they worked toward a key vote on a congressional redistricting plan that could give the GOP a shot at winning an additional seat in the November midterm elections.

The redistricting plan, urged on by President Donald Trump, would reshape the state’s only Democratic-held U.S. House district to Republicans’ advantage as part of a broader national effort to retain the party’s slim House majority in the fall.

If endorsed Tuesday, the plan would need one more routine House vote to move to the more skeptical Senate, where some Republicans have questioned whether redistricting could backfire — making districts competitive enough for Democrats to gain seats instead of securing all seven for the GOP.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, whose seat is targeted, has said he will continue running for an 18th term even if his district gets changed.

During Tuesday’s debate, Democrats praised Clyburn’s work on behalf of the state and repeatedly objected to plans to reshape his district. Republicans repeatedly rejected their amendments.

“What you all are doing is wrong,” said Democratic state Rep. JA Moore, adding: “You can justify it, rationalize it, but it’s wrong.”

Republican state Rep. Melissa Oremus later accused Democrats of “fear-mongering” for raising concerns about the potential impact on Black voters, asserting: “People are not being blocked from voting because of the color of their skin.”
