SC votes about 40% Democratic, so they should have at least 2 or possibly 3 seats. I just looked at their current districts, and I see why they’re afraid. Nancy Mace’s district is only R +6, so if they removed some Republican areas to put into Clyburn’s district, hers suddenly becomes competitive. Same for Joe Wilson’s (You Lie)! district, which is R + 7.
