Bipartisan early voting bill faces uncertain future after changes in SC Senate

by Jason Raven 

COLUMBIA, SC (WSPA) — There’s a chance a bill that would establish early voting in South Carolina, and passed both the South Carolina House and Senate unanimously, won’t become law this year.

H.4919 makes other changes to state election laws, like expanding state-run audits and increasing voter fraud penalties. The bill received wide bipartisan support at the State House.

Before passing the Senate, Senators made changes to the legislation House leadership and the Governor said they can’t sign off on. Senators inserted proposals from another elections bill.
