Two civil rights groups are suing South Carolina, saying state lawmakers are taking too long to draw new maps for U.S. and state House districts. Candidates are required to file to run for the 2022 races by the end of March.

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the American Civil Liberties Union. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed release of 2020 U.S. Census data used to draw the maps until August.
