COLUMBIA, S.C. The South Carolina Senate voted 26-18 on Tuesday to continue a proposed congressional redistricting bill, effectively halting an effort to adopt a new map for the 2026 election as early voting opened across the state on May 26; senators adjourned without taking final amendments or a final passage vote. The decision came amid record early turnout and public comment: Rep. Jim Clyburn linked high participation to voter anger over the map, local officials reported thousands of early ballots (44,600 by 3:00 p.m. statewide and 1,119 in Aiken County by 2:00 p.m.), and lawmakers are scheduled to return June 10 after the June 9 primary to resume business.

倡导制定七个新选区的共和党议员及其盟友(包括与特朗普总统结盟的支持者)未能获得足够票数,以便在提前投票和初选前推进重划选区计划。
