The Supreme Court upheld the GOP-drawn map in a 6-3 decision
The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled to reverse a lower court's decision that said a South Carolina redistricting map was unconstitutional, rejecting the idea that it was racially discriminatory. In a 6-3 decision, written by Justice Samuel Alito, the high court said that, 'a party challenging a map’s constitutionality must disentangle race and politics if it wishes to prove that the legislature was motivated by race as opposed to partisanship.
Second, in assessing a legislature’s work, we start with a presumption that the legislature acted in good faith.' 'In this case, which features a challenge to South Carolina’s redistricting efforts in the wake of the 2020 census, the three-judge District Court paid only lip service to these propositions,' the decision states.
