CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCIV) — Voter rights groups across South Carolina are voicing their discontent after the state Supreme Court upheld the current congressional district lines, rejecting claims that the 1st Congressional District was gerrymandered.

The ruling has sparked a heated debate between voter rights advocates and Republican lawmakers.…

Voter rights groups, including the League of Women Voters of South Carolina, argue that the redistricting process should prioritize voter representation.

“The whole process is supposed to be about voters and how the public is represented,” said Lynn Teague of the League. “It is not a one-winner-take-all process properly defined.”

As the debate continues, both sides agree that voters should stay informed about potential changes to district lines.
