ACLU-SC Legal Director Allen Chaney on Wednesday released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments in Alexander v. SC NAACP, the racial gerrymandering case involving South Carolina Congressional District 1:
“Win or lose, it cannot be overlooked that today the South Carolina legislature argued, yet again, that its conscious goal was to cheat South Carolina voters out of a fair and representative Congressional map. Voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around.”
