Senators listened to members of the public about redrawing district lines based on new population data. Author: Eleanor Tabone (WLTX) Updated: 11:23 PM EDT July 27, 2021
COLUMBIA, S.C. South Carolina lawmakers held their first public hearing on redistricting in South Carolina on Tuesday.
The idea is for residents to share their opinions and concerns regarding the redistricting process.
The meeting was the first of ten public hearings to listen to public opinion about redrawing the state Senate and seven U.S. Congressional Districts districts based on new population data.
Every decade, state lawmakers are required to redraw district lines when population data from the U.S. Census Bureau is released. The goal is for each district to roughly have the same number of people in it.
