This is my state and my congressional district that this occurred in. Democrat Joe Cunningham, a man I've met and supported, surprisingly came into power here making national news for his win during the first blue wave mid term election of the trump presidency. Republicans in this state were determined to not ever let this happen in this traditionally red district again. Ever. So they gerrymandered by exclusion - actually moving a portion of the black vote in the city of Charleston into another district. Cunningham was an honest and capable politician who took his work seriously but, unfortunately, was not a camera hound and subsequently lost to Nancy Mace. The state's argument before SCOTUS is that it's redistricting is not race based.
