BEAUFORT COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Beaufort County, South Carolina
REDISTRICTING
South Carolina
The State Legislature has completed its redistricting process. Generally speaking, the new State Senate map isn't terrible, however, the new Senate House district lines and the new Congressional map are significantly gerrymandered. The SC ACLU and NAACP are preparing to legally challenge both maps.
Beaufort County
The Beaufort County Council was responsive to testimony submitted by many members of the Beaufort County Democratic Party and drew a 3rd alternative that took many of our concerns into account. The new County Council map was adopted in late January.
Town of Hilton Head Island
On December 8 the Hilton Head Town Council adopted a resolution to contract with the SC Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office to develop baseline maps by the end of the year. After the receipt of those maps, the Town Council staff will begin to develop proposed maps to fit the shifting population within the Town limits to be publicized for public comment prior to final adoption. The Town of Hilton Head is holding public hearings on their proposed maps through February 2022.
