The Republican-led South Carolina Senate voted on Tuesday against a measure to advance a new congressional map. The Washington Examiner reported the final vote count as 24-20 against instating a new map.
NBC News reported that the Senate's vote ended the last-minute redistricting effort in the state for now. The measure failed with GOP opposition, according to the outlet.
The Hill described the Senate's action as blocking a plan to advance a new congressional map. The outlet characterized the vote as putting an end to the state's GOP-led redistricting push. According to The Hill, the vote occurred amid a national back-and-forth over redistricting ahead of the midterm elections.
The Washington Examiner provided additional context regarding the timing of the vote. According to the outlet, the South Carolina Senate vote followed a Supreme Court decision last month that overturned Louisiana's second majority-Black district. The Washington Examiner reported on this broader national context in which the South Carolina vote took place.
All three outlets identified the South Carolina Senate as Republican-led. The vote against advancing the new congressional map was reported as 24-20 by the Washington Examiner. NBC News, The Hill, and the Washington Examiner each confirmed that the redistricting measure did not advance.
The current status is that South Carolina's redistricting push has concluded following the Senate vote. No new congressional map was advanced by the Senate on Tuesday. The vote represents the end of the recent redistricting effort in the state for the time being.
