Supreme Court Reinstates South Carolina’s Absentee-Ballot Witness Rule

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court on Monday reinstated South Carolina’s requirement that voters obtain a witness when casting absentee ballots, blocking lower court orders that suspended the rule because of the coronavirus pandemic.

By a 5-3 vote, the court directed South Carolina to accept any absentee ballots returned through Wednesday without a witness signature. More than 150,000 absentee ballots already have been mailed to voters, according to court papers; some 7,891 ballots in South Carolina had been returned as of Oct....

A victory for Democracy.

No other country in the world allows for voting without proof of identity but in America that’s somehow “racist”. Bullshit.

There’s no evidence of the kind of fraud these laws are supposed to prevent. The “greatest country on earth” has become openly hostile to its own citizens voting. It’s all a charade. In reality, we now live in a rich, White, oligarchy that pretends to be a just & fair democracy.

There is nothing Supreme about this new court. Travesty.

If your voice wasn’t important they wouldn’t be trying to take it away. Please, everyone vote. Make your voice heard. Let’s end this nightmare together. VoteBidenHarris2020

As God is my witness, the GOPscumbags will never stop me from voting.

FrauWise Mississippi has that requirement for the disabled. The elderly need a notarization, I’m guessing to determine if they are mentally competent.

Good move-

Good.

Other suppression at its best. We cannot let that stop us. Please get out and vote.

i dun vote here yknow! eastern are forsaken if we participate on a govt republican and its democrat laws, there-is-none! in mainland-wei!

This is so played out! Voter suppression from the highest court 🙃

As it should be, a states right to have fair and free elections....

Ugh. The judiciary has lost credibility for me. And i just don’t see that changing anytime soon. 😔

Voter suppression seems popular in the south.

Yes that co- signer is going to be held accountable.
