The Supreme Court sided with South Carolina Republicans in a racial gerrymandering case that’s the Republican-majority court’s latest ruling curbing voting rights. Justice Samuel Alito wrote the 6-3 ruling, joined by his fellow Republican appointees in the majority and with Democratic appointees dissenting. The Supreme Court has disallowed racial gerrymandering but enabled partisan gerrymandering. Of course, it can be difficult to distinguish between the two.
Republicans apparently didn’t want to chance another close one, and Mace won by a wider margin in 2022 with the new map in place. But a three-judge panel in January 2023, which evaluated evidence and witnesses, said the South Carolina map is an illegal racial gerrymander that pushed Black people out for predominantly racial reasons. The panel cited Supreme Court precedent that said sorting voters on racial grounds is suspect even if race is used as a proxy for politics.
