McMaster's Midnight Map Maneuvers: What's at Stake for South Carolina Voters South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster's decision to call a special session on redistricting has sparked controversy over gerrymandering.
The governor claims this move is necessary to address the state budget and congressional districts, but many see it as an attempt to shore up Republican power ahead of the midterm elections.
McMaster initially chose not to set a special session, but after pressure from President Donald Trump and his own party members, he relented. This reversal raises questions about the true motivations behind this move.
