The Lowcountry redistricting fight isn’t over!
There is a push from the #Gerrymander crowd to flood the redistricting committee email account.
We must keep CHS county whole & insure competitive districts.

Suggested talking points for the 'Whole County Map':
-Keeps most counties in SC whole
- Keeps communities of interest together (like West Ashley)
- Keeps CHS County whole (and in SC-01)
- Maintains the competitiveness of SC-01.
- Keeps SC-01 a 'coastal district'

Suggested talking points against the ‘House approved-map’:
-There’s no reason to put West Ashley or Johns Island in the same district as Columbia (100 miles away), while keeping North Charleston and downtown Charleston (2 miles away) in separate districts.

This is what the randomly selected base map looked like when the process began (a version of expert Jowei Chen’s map used in the NC redraw Court case)
GOP members could have used this map but instead begin to ✂️ & 🖋 lines that they wanted in their districts.

Senator Alexander sits and sees that someone made edits and now he is in a district that is MUCH more democratic.

Can someone explain to me when the @GOP stopped ignoring fiscal responsibility?
Can someone explain to me why @GOP claimed to be the party of Moral Values but continues to support a person like @realDonaldTrump?

Can you explain to me why you wouldn't want another party in power for the Senate or House when you believe in the Constitution and checks and balances?

Scott Dworkin: It's almost a certainty that Mueller will try Manafort for the ten charges that ended in a hung jury in the previous trial.

Scott Dworkin: Manafort can't push back much; he's really disadvantaged at this point. He'd have to give up something absolutely crazy or he'll be in prison for the rest of his life.

Rick: Or, Trump could pardon Manafort.
