The South Carolina Senate has put an end to a recent redistricting push, voting 24-20 against advancing a new map.After the Supreme Court decision last month that overturned Louisiana’s second majority-black district, President Donald Trump and his allies pushed South Carolina Republicans to push through a new map that would redraw its single majority-black district.The state House approved the new map last week, but the state Senate ended the effort.
“Neither my conscience nor my common sense will allow me to stop an election that is already underway,” state Sen. Richard Cash, a Republican, said at the time of the vote.
