Most to all of the county shapes before the present day are broken. I am not yet sure whether or not this has happened to other states.

Actually, SC is a bit of a mess because the state had overlapping Counties, Parishes and Judicial Districts for a while - and not all parts of the state had all of them.

Between 1 January 1800 and 16 April 1868, judicial districts were the principal administrative subdivisions of the state, while [some] counties survived mostly as geographical references.

16 Apr 1868 - District[s] eliminated when new state constitution abolished all judicial districts... Count[ies] continued and assumed all functions of local government from both judicial districts and parishes.

Due to the date, I assume this was part of Reconstruction.

Actually, it seems to be everything before 1988, with the exception of the 1865 gubernatorial election, that's showing up with seemingly no shapes (not even the default "SC Counties"). I haven't yet checked house returns.

For clarification, when no shapes show up, I don't mean just the state borders that come up with a lack of sub-races.

Ah. Needed to regenerate the maps so the boundaries would be set.

Good thread on the case and the arguments.

sometime after entering the new SC State House maps (which settled a lawsuit by changing the lines in a few districts), I realized how much faster the process of determining which districts changed could have been if I just downloaded the population data for both maps and noted the districts where the total population changed

anyways, the 2024-30 SC State House Map was passed in summer of 2022 before the 2022 elections.. so we got it on here in about 21 months or so.
