News
David Robinson is in the news because South Carolina is preparing to redraw its congressional map ahead of the midterms, which could affect House districts and the timing of primaries. The redistricting push follows a Supreme Court Voting Rights Act ruling that has triggered similar map changes across several Southern states. The situation is still developing, and no final South Carolina map has been adopted yet.
