The South Carolina Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in a high-stakes case that could force the redrawing of the state’s congressional map. At the center of the case is a challenge to the state’s 2022 congressional map, which plaintiffs argue was drawn to give one political party an unfair advantage. The League of Women Voters, the plaintiffs, say the current map violates voters’ rights by diluting their ability to choose their representatives.

The South Carolina Supreme Court heard arguments about the constitutionality of partisan gerrymandering in the state’s congressional districts. The American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of South Carolina, and others filed the League of Women Voters of South Carolina v. Alexander in July 2024 with the goal to end partisan gerrymandering.

Last year, the US Supreme Court sided with the state’s Republican leaders in a challenge over whether South Carolina’s Congressional map was racially gerrymandered. The League of Women Voters of South Carolina is challenging the latest Congressional map. With it, none of South Carolina’s seven districts are considered tossups that a candidate from either party could win, with six solidly red and Clyburn’s solidly blue.

The League of Women Voters is suing the state over a redistricting map that they believe is unfair and illegal. “What we see in our congressional map is a badly distorted map that does not reflect any one community or any one cohesive group of communities,” said Lynn Teague with the League of Women Voters of South Carolina.

In this new world, the burden of discerning what is true or false falls on each of us individually. Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram have not fully tried to correct harmful falsehoods on their platforms. Meta’s small programs, such as Community Notes, a way for people to add more context to confusing and misleading posts, or YouTube links to vetted information, play a small yet inconsequential role in spreading mis-, dis-, and mal-information. 

So the responsibility falls to us — as parents, friends, colleagues and, above all, as citizens — to develop the skills needed to navigate a highly polluted information ecosystem.
