South Carolina Republicans Are Screwing Up Again on Redistricting

South Carolina Republicans are playing a dangerous game. They know Donald Trump can ruin their day. They saw what his team did to the anti-redistricting Republicans in Indiana, right? Gov. Henry McMaster called this special session to pass this new map. We have panican, procedural weenies trying to gum up the works. It doesn’t help that Shane Massey, the State Senate majority leader, is against this push. 

🚨BREAKING: South Carolina Senate KILLS motion to expedite Redistricting!

This puts the entire effort in serious jeopardy.

Regardless, the State House approved it, the South Carolina State Senate Judiciary Committee authorized it, and now it’s up to the Senate to pass it. It failed a key motion vote today, where essentially their version of the 60-vote threshold, Rule 15b on cloture, was rejected by these traitors. As of now, the debate on this new map could extend past the start of early voting, which begins on May 26.
