South Carolina must not pass any law that takes away the right and freedom for citizens of the state to vote by erecting devious barriers. Our state is already near the bottom of the American standard for education and has a long and sordid history of racial injustice. The voter ID law will move the state in the wrong direction again.
Why is this important?
The South Carolina Election Commission Executive Director Marci Andino recently informed a federal court about how the new Republican voting law will intentionally disenfranchise thousands of voters. There are people in authority within state government who would like to make it more difficult for many citizens to cast their vote in the coming election. Their voter ID regulations would unfairly target older citizens, citizens of lower income, and potentially target citizens of color.
