A voting rights group has filed a lawsuit in South Carolina, requesting the state's Supreme Court to redraw congressional maps that they argue unfairly favor Republicans following a 2020 Census-based redistricting. The League of Women Voters claims these maps violate the South Carolina constitution by undermining free and open elections and equal protection under the law. Meanwhile, in Cobb County, Georgia, a court ruled that the Democratic-led county commission illegally adopted its own district map, leading to postponed elections for two commissioner seats. The ruling mandates the use of the Republican-drawn maps, which could significantly impact the political balance in the county that has been trending Democratic. This decision follows a legal dispute over authority between the county commission and the Georgia legislature regarding district maps. Special primaries and elections for the affected districts are anticipated to occur in 2025.
