W/ no decision & the June 11 primary on the horizon, #SouthCarolina sought to use the map this yr even tho it had been deemed #unconstitutional. The panel unanimously agreed Thurs to keep the map in place for the #2024election.
It noted courts typically don’t allow maps to be used once found to be invalid. “But w/the primary election procedures rapidly approaching, the appeal before #SCOTUS still pending, & no remedial plan in place, the ideal must bend to the practical,” the judges wrote. #law
