South Carolina Republicans are flirting with redrawing the state’s congressional maps — specifically Rep. Jim Clyburn’s district.

The chairman of the South Carolina Freedom Caucus, state Rep. Jordan Pace, proposed a new congressional map this week that would make Clyburn’s district more conservative.

Pace was explicit in his goals: to make the state’s sole Democratic-held district competitive and pick up an extra Republican seat in the House.
