Jim Clyburn and given Republicans all seven of the state\u2019s congressional districts. The current maps in the state are six to one.<\/p>\n<p>But the 12 Republicans joined with state Senate Democrats 20 to 24 to stop debate on Tuesday, as thousands of voters have already cast ballots as part of early voting for next month\u2019s primary. <\/p>\n<p>The move ensures that the current maps will remain at least for now, as the Senate agreed to adjourn instead of pressing forward with the proposal, which was punted until after the primary on June 9. <\/p>\n<p>The unusual act of defiance came in a state that Trump won in 2024 by nearly 18 points, as other Republican-led states have been rushing to redraw districts to eliminate districts held by Democrats in the wake of the Supreme Court weakening the Voting Rights Act. <\/p>\n<p>Conservative state Senator Richard Cash was among those who rejected the legislation. He called the scramble to redistrict while voters were already casting ballots a \u201cmess\u201d and said the clock to take action had already run out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouth Carolina citizens are going to the polls today, and neither my conscience or common sense is going to let me stop an election that is already underway,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said there was no precedents that he could find in South Carolina or nationally where state lawmakers changed the date of the election and redrew congressional districts after thousands of voters had already headed to the polls, and he was not about to join an effort to set a new one.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=35\">The Perfect Amount of Sleep Revealed\u2014It\u2019s Bad News for Trump<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MAGA influencers on social media completely freaked out at the effort being rejected ahead of the midterms. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNearly a DOZEN so called Republicans joined Democrats to protect Jim Clyburn\u2019s rigged seat that he\u2019s occupied for 33 years,\u201d ranted Gunther Eagleman on X. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why RINOs CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED\u2014no matter WHAT they say,&#8221; fumed MAGA diehard Nick Sortor. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you FREAKING KIDDING ME?!

The vast majority of those state senators faced Trump-backed primary challengers this year and were ousted ahead of the midterms. <\/p>\n<p>But in South Carolina, the effort took place while the election was already underway. Some 26,000 voters in the state had already cast ballots as of noon Tuesday, according to the Election Commission, setting a new record in the state\u2019s early voting.<\/p>\n<p>Videos from the state showed South Carolinians lining up to cast ballots on the first day of early voting. It was a line too far for some Senate Republicans, despite pressure from the White House to redistrict.<\/p>\n<p>It comes on the same day that a panel of judges blocked the Alabama congressional maps that Republicans were seeking to implement to eliminate one of the two Democratic seats in the state. Republicans in the state plan to appeal. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=33\">Trump Plots to Put Tacky Stamp on Iconic New York Institution<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s MAGA allies are melting down at \u201cRINO\u201d Republicans after a group of South Carolina state senators helped block a move to give Republicans a greater advantage in the state ahead of the midterms.
