Did the seat go to a republican?

If so

What can be done about it?

Wait 2 years before the next election?

You can't remove the person who got elected with the map as it was written on election day.

It's sucks, but that's how it is.

suits yesterday, and all the suits he is involved in..what a remarkable display of Patriotism..I'm encouraged, we have goodness on our side..Rep. Swalwell did remark, " there are still plenty of us on the side of right", in so many words.

Thanks for this, so important..

which are part of the problem. Columbia, which is a more "blue "area of the state is all gerrymandered into Jim Clyburn's district (6th), rather than in the 2nd District (You Lie Wilson's). That whole area is a nearly surrounded by the 2nd District. If the lines were properly drawn, there's a good chance that the 2nd District would be, at the very least, a swing district. They gerrymandered most of the Dems into Clyburn's district, at the expense of the 1st and 2nd Districts.
