  • The 6th Congressional District of South Carolina is a congressional district in central South Carolina. It includes all of Bamberg, Clarendon, Colleton, Marion and Williamsburg counties and parts of Berkeley, Calhoun, Charleston, Dorchester, Florence, Georgetown, Lee, Orangeburg, Richland and Sumter counties. The district was gerrymandered in the early 1990's from a deal by Republicans and black Democrats in the South Carolina General Assembly to ensure a majority black population. The rural counties of the black belt in South Carolina make up much of the district, but it was also carved to include the black precincts in Charleston and Columbia. Even before the district assumed its current configuration, it was a Democratic bastion. It included the northeastern part of the state, from Darlington to Myrtle Beach. It only elected two Republicans, in both cases for only a single term. Jim Clyburn, the current House Majority Whip, has represented this district since 1993.
