ACTION REQUIRED RE: REDISTRICTING
Go to this Senate website on the redistricting for US Congress:
(Apportionment and Redistricting Process for the U.S. House of Representatives)
because Congress determines redistricting. We are in US 3rd district of course and only Clyburn currently has an area carved out so a Democrat can win one of the 7 districts for SC.
Whenever the census numbers are finalized, they are divided by 7 because we have 7 Congressional districts in SC. Then maps are drawn to equalize the number of citizens in each district— there are parameters. The discussion as to where McCormick lands will be August 12 in Aiken and that is when McCormick residents need to have input. See WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW in the EVENTS page of our website: <mccormickscdemocrats.org> for more information on how you can participate in the August 12 meeting. Probably one district will be left Democrat and the rest Republican, but never hurts to show up though just to let them know there is interest and concern.
