S
South Carolina Democratic Party Chair
Christale Spain Slams Supreme Court
Decision Gutting the Voting Rights Act
and Opening Door to Racially-Based
Redistricting

Republicans now have the power to attack majority-minority
districts in South Carolina

Today, in its decision in Louisiana v. Callais, the Supreme
Court struck down the remaining sections of the landmark
Voting Rights Act of 1965 designed to protect the voting
power of communities of color. With this ruling, the Court has
turned its back on decades of precedent to undercut the
voting power of Black, Latino, and other minority
communities in South Carolina.

Donald Trump made this happen. Back in September, his DOJ
asked the Court to allow Republican legislators to weaken, or
in some cases eliminate, minority voters' right to elect
candidates who represent them. Trump and his GOP know
they stand a chance in the midterms amid their cratering
approval ratings, which is why they're plotting to dilute the
voting power of minority voters.

Make no mistake: The South Carolina Democratic Party will fight
tooth and nail against Republican attempts to suppress minority
representation in South Carolina.

A STATEMENT FROM CHAIR CHRISTALE SPAIN

On The Supreme Court Decision Gutting the Voting Rights
Act and Opening Door to Racially-Based Redistricting

"Trump's hand-picked Supreme Court justices just
effectively gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act,
opening the door for Republicans to dilute the political
power of minority communities wherever they choose to
across South Carolina. Today's decision is a major step back
in our fight for racial justice and fair representation, erasing
the reforms fought for by Civil Rights leaders a generation
ago. Democrats are united in fighting this every step of the
way and ensuring the voices of all South Carolinians are
heard this November and beyond."
