The SC Senate has unveiled its draft plan for congressional district lines. Note big changes to #SC01, currently represented by @RepNancyMace, and #SC06, currently represented by @WhipClyburn >Old map is on the left and new proposal is on the right, with the pink numbers. #scpol
The big obvious change in the proposal is the way that #SC01 would now hook through more parts of Berkeley County, parts of which were previously drawn into #SC06. >>> #spcol
Let's zoom in even closer: Under SC's current congressional map, places like Jamestown, Shulerville, Huger, Cordesville and Cainhoy (a booming area off Clements Ferry Road in CHS/Mount Pleasant) were #SC06. Under new maps? It would be in #SC01 >>> #scpol #scnews #chsnews
Zooming back out, SC's 6th Congressional District would still include most of the CHS peninsula, the Neck and North Charleston aka Democratic strongholds and in North Charleston a majority minority voting bloc. The tippy, tip of the peninsula would still be drawn into #SC01.
Under the propsed map for SC congressional districts, Charleston's Naval Weapons Station would be part of #SC01 and no longer in #SC06. However, the CHS International Airport would remain in SC's 6th Congressional District. (Old map = yellow +red; Proposed = blue and red) #scpol
A big change under SC's proposed congressional districts can be found on Charleston's peninsula: The College of Charleston, currently in #SC01, would be moved into #SC06 under new district lines. Past maps had #SC01 starting south of Marion Square. Not anymore >>> #chsnews #scpol
