The statement reports that Governor Henry McMaster wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on or around May 2, 2026, calling for the General Assembly to ensure South Carolina’s congressional map complies with federal law and the U.S. Constitution in light of a recent court decision on the Voting Rights Act. As a factual report of what a public official posted, this is verifiable and consistent with McMaster’s known position and statements around redistricting and voting rights litigation; there is no evidence that he did not make such a post.

As of the knowledge cutoff (June 2024), there was no recent Voting Rights Act court decision in early 2026 that could be referenced; the statement's date is in the future relative to available information, making the premise unverifiable and likely false.

The statement accurately reflects Governor Henry McMaster’s posted comment on X, urging the General Assembly to ensure South Carolina’s congressional map complies with federal law and the Constitution.
