WASHINGTON May 23, 2024 In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court today issued a decision that reversed a federal trial courts unanimous finding that Congressional District 1 in South Carolinas 2022 map is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The Court also ruled that the district court applied the incorrect standard to Plaintiffs intentional vote dilution claim and returned that claim to the district court for further proceedings.
The decision is a rejection of the historical deference given to the trial courts factual findings and adds to the already difficult evidentiary burden that plaintiffs must demonstrate to remedy racial discrimination in voting. This divided decision underpins efforts nationwide to deny Black voters fair access to the political process to elect their preferred candidates.
The Legal Defense Fund (LDF), American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), ACLU of South Carolina, and Arnold & Porter tried this case over eight days before a three-judge panel unanimously ruled that there was a racial target on the number of Black South Carolinians assigned to Congressional District 1; that race more than partisan affiliation explained that assignment; and, the legislature disregarded traditional redistricting principles.

A history related pun
While driving around Southern England a while back, we were in Hastings. Some big event happened there in 1066.
As we were driving into town we say a concrete truck on the road. The name of the company?
