Lindsey Graham calls on South Carolina to pursue redistricting in response to Virginia vote
Sen. Lindsey Graham urged South Carolina Republicans to consider redistricting after Virginia voters approved a constitutional amendment enabling Democrats to redraw congressional maps. Graham called for 'fighting fire with fire,' suggesting the state's next Republican governor and legislature evaluate a response. A federal judge subsequently struck down Virginia's referendum as unconstitutional.
