The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could see South Carolina reinstate a congressional redistricting plan that was struck down by a lower court as an attempt at racist gerrymandering. In January, a three-judge panel of the federal district court in Columbia, South Carolina, ruled unanimously that state Republicans unfairly drew maps that split Black neighborhoods in Charleston, leading to the exile of more than 30,000 African American citizens from their previous district.
