The concerns now are only heightened, Massey said, on ballots already being sent out, what the districts could look like and a Dem advantage.
He said the deadline to move congressional elections was “three months ago.”
“I think it’s all problematic.”
English
Massey said McMaster told him he was calling special session back.
He wouldn’t expect for there to be anything the Senate to do Friday or Monday.
“I can’t imagine we’re going to be asked to vote on a map without having any opportunity really to look at it or study the numbers

NEW: AG Alan Wilson said he intends to seek a “speedy” retrial of Alex Murdaugh. Said he hopes to get back before the end of the calendar year, and that whether he is AG at the time is “irrelevant.” He would like to be involved but the office will still seek justice.

Special session on redistricting very likely to come - from my colleague @IAmNickReynolds
The announcement from McMaster will likely come shortly after session ends Thursday. It would be the legislature’s first special session since 2023.

I have a pretty extensive bibliography on Burns if anyone is so interested.
Here's a profile I did on his somewhat murky role within Trumpworld some time ago.

Among the areas missed or misunderstood by many who don’t follow/cover the statehouse, is the gov has a good relationship with the legislature and works well with leadership, unlike some predecessors. It’s a key point of his tenure.

FWIW: Still no word on if and when McMaster will call back lawmakers absent a sine die agreement. But in 2023, when lawmakers were unable to agree to a sine die resolution, McMaster worked with lawmakers to have them return to Columbia the week after session formally "ended."

The House has just accepted Senate amendments to the sine die bill -- which is separate from the sine die agreement voted on yesterday. Tally was 108-3.
This applies only to the budget: scstatehouse.gov/sess126_2025-2…
The sine die resolution is here: scstatehouse.gov/sess126_2025-2…

This as the Senate declines to agree to take them up after Thursday's deadline. There is also not enough time on the calendar for the bill to cross over the traditional way.

Reps. Weston Newton and Jay Jordan told us after the committee that bill will head to House floor to be read across desk & be on House calendar following day.

🚨 South Carolina senators *REJECT* sine die agreement that included congressional redistricting language, voting it down 29-17. 🚨 #scpol #scnews #chsnews #redistricting
Nick Reynolds@IAmNickReynolds
Sine die agreement with redistricting attached fails 29-17. Nos: Allen, Bennett, Campsen, Davis, Devine, Graham, Hembree, Hutto, Jackson, Massey, Matthews, Ott, Sabb, Sutton, Tedder, Walker, Williams. Blackmon, Cromer and Rankin delayed, but voted aye. Five GOP defectors.
