Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchi - A federal court that previously threw out a Republican-drawn South Carolina electoral map for bias against Black voters decided on Thursday that it can be used in this year's congressional elections, a ruling that could undercut Democratic chances of winning control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

At issue was a map adopted in 2022 by the Republican-led state legislature that redrew the boundaries of one of South Carolina's seven U.S. House districts - one that includes parts of Charleston along the Atlantic coast. The primary election is scheduled for June 11, with the absentee ballot deadline for military and overseas voters on April 27. The general election is on Nov. 5.

"A second election under an infirm map is justice delayed when plaintiffs have made every effort to get a decision and remedy before another election under a map that denies them their rights," Aden said.
