The South Carolina Senate voted 24-20 against a proposal to implement a new redistricting map. This decision follows a Supreme Court ruling last month that overturned Louisiana's second majority-black district. In response, President Donald Trump and his allies encouraged South Carolina Republicans to pursue a new map to redraw the state's single majority-black district. Although the state House approved the new map last week, the Senate's vote halted the effort. State Senator Richard Cash, a Republican, stated, "Neither my conscience nor my common sense will allow me to stop an election that is already underway."
