Proposed SC House maps: bad news, disenfranchise voters

Submitted by South Carolina in November 2021.

Action Alerts

Proposed SC House maps appear to be an extreme partisan gerrymander. If these maps pass, they will lead to the disenfranchisement of thousands of voters. Major communities of interest are divided, hundreds of precincts are split, and there are even fewer competitive districts. Express your alarm by Monday, November 15 @ noon.

The freedom to vote is under direct assault across the country, especially for women, Black and brown Americans, and people with disabilities. Federal voting rights protections cannot wait and are vital to saving the soul of our democracy. Call on the Biden-Harris White House to do everything within their power to protect voting rights.

The fight for voting rights has been a long and enduring battle. And the newly released Freedom to Vote Act is a transformative voting rights bill that will protect and expand the right to vote, decrease the influence of money in politics and curb partisan gerrymandering. This legislation will put power back into the hands of American voters by prioritizing voting access and participation, while also modernizing future elections to ensure a system that everyone can trust. Contact your Representative TODAY and tell them to pass the Freedom to Vote Act.

New video: Preparing SC leaders to testify at redistricting hearings

The League encourages all of our local League leaders to bring League redistricting priorities and talking points into focus with hearing testimony that integrates them with a discussion of local communities of interest, conditions, and concerns. We hope our members will do so as constituents and individuals.
