Jim Clyburn is poster child for gerrymandering

The State’s Jan. 16 article, “50 years after King’s death, SC marchers say much work remains to be done,” paraphrases Lynne Teague of the S.C. League of Women Voters as saying “the important fight is to ensure that voters live in election districts where there is not a guaranteed outcome on election day, based on how those districts have been drawn, or gerrymandered, by politicians.”

I have two words: James Clyburn.

The State publishes a cross section of the letters we receive from South Carolinians in order to provide a forum for our community and also to allow our community to get a good look at itself, for good or bad. The letters represent the views of the letter writers, not necessarily of The State.
