The United States Supreme Court is set to hear arguments Wednesday regarding the redistricting of South Carolina's First Congressional District. The case centers around allegations of racial gerrymandering, with civil rights groups arguing that the district lines were drawn in a way that diluted the power of Black voters in the Charleston area. Lynn Teague, spokesperson for the League of Women Voters emphasized, " Black voters are being hurt, but all voters are not having their community being accurately represented."

Women's status in South Carolina is at the top of unwanted phenomena like domestic violence and maternal and child mortality, and at the bottom of desirable phenomena like equal pay, reproductive choice, and LGBTQ+ rights. To improve women's well-being requires a robust, diverse representation of women in government

The League is invested in and carefully watching an important redistricting case, Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP. The case is an appeal from a ruling striking down South Carolina’s congressional map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.
