South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster ordered a special legislative session beginning Friday to redraw the state's congressional map, a move expected to eliminate the only majority-minority district in the state, held by Rep. James Clyburn, according to NBC News. McMaster acted after five Republican state senators, including Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey, blocked the two-thirds vote needed to extend the regular session; in the special session, a simple majority suffices. Said Massey: "Republicans are stronger when the Democrat Party is vibrant and viable."
