Gov Haley: SC Can't Afford a Million Dollar Law Suit Over Voter ID

Stop South Carolina's costly court challenge against U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to protect the state's unnecessary Voter ID law.

Why is this important?

South Carolina’s new law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls was blocked by the U.S. Justice Department, which said it would “significantly” burden non-white voters. In February, SC Attorney General Alan Wilson filed suit against U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder over this ruling. The litigation could cost cash-strapped SC more than $1 million, according to two South Carolina attorneys who have practiced before the U.S. Supreme Court.
