(32,117 posts)which are part of the problem. Columbia, which is a more "blue "area of the state is all gerrymandered into Jim Clyburn's district (6th), rather than in the 2nd District (You Lie Wilson's). That whole area is a nearly surrounded by the 2nd District. If the lines were properly drawn, there's a good chance that the 2nd District would be, at the very least, a swing district. They gerrymandered most of the Dems into Clyburn's district, at the expense of the 1st and 2nd Districts.

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
