SCOTUS Rules Challenged South Carolina District Is Not a Racial Gerrymander

In Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, 602 U.S. ____ (2024), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the lower court erred in finding that a South Carolina congressional district was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The Court, which was divided along ideological lines, also set a high bar for challengers to meet in future gerrymandering cases.
