VERDICT · FALSE
South Carolina's congressional redistricting plan based on the 2020 census was finalized after litigation, with the U.S. Supreme Court denying a stay request on September 17, 2024, allowing the plan to take effect for the 2024 elections. While McMaster's statement says 'this year' (2026) rather than 2024, the core fact that the state's redistricting plan received final approval on September 17 is accurate, though the year appears to be misstated.
