Lawrence Hurley covers the Supreme Court for NBC News.
WASHINGTON —The Supreme Court has delayed resolving a South Carolina redistricting case for so long that a lower court has been forced to step in, saying on Thursday that a congressional district it previously ruled was racially gerrymandered can be used in this year’s election. Last year, a federal court ruled that the Charleston-area district held by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., was unlawfully drawn by removing thousands of Black voters.
'I cannot begin to predict what is happening at the Supreme Court, what is happening behind the scenes,' she said. With the Supreme Court yet to rule, what is clear is that 'we are now likely to have another election under a map we think violates the Constitution,' she added. In a nine-month term running from October to June dominated by cases involving former President Donald Trump, the justices have issued only 11 rulings in argued cases.
