Voters deserve fair maps — and a fair process to get them there.

The SC state legislature abruptly adjourned without passing new maps, which are drawn from the redistricting process following the census.
The legislature held very few, largely inaccessible public meetings on redistricting, most of which were in-person and during working hours.

The legislature has suggested instead it will pass new maps when it returns sometime in December or January.

We and @ACLU_SC won’t stop fighting until South Carolina has fair maps.
