Nancy Mace wins re-election in SC-1 under challenged congressional map

Republican Nancy Mace won re-election in South Carolina First Congressional District on November 5, 2024, defeating Democrat Michael Moore by roughly 14 percentage points under the contested map that SCOTUS had allowed to stand. The margin validated Republican mapmakers prediction that reducing Black voter share in SC-1 from 17 to 11 percent would secure the seat. SC Democrats and the NAACP pointed to the result as evidence of the map electoral impact.
