A Labor Day rally at the S.C. State House attracted about 300 people and a dozen speakers on Monday. Lynn Teague, vice president of the League of Women Voters of South Carolina, urged the audience to get engaged, “really” understand the issues and vote. “They need to get out there for all the elections.,..Primaries are more important than (the general election) in November.”

Consider issues carefully (there is no free lunch) and vote in every election. Only 15-20% of registered voters vote in our primaries. That is a major contributor to our having a government that is out of sync with the interests of many South Carolinians

Between elections, call and write public officials so they know what you think. Tell them you are a constituent and intend to vote in every election.

The U.S. Department of Justice is seeking personal information on 3.3 million South Carolinians without saying why it wants the data or how it plans to use it. The massive cache sought includes names, addresses, birthdates, driver’s license numbers and the last four digits of Social Security numbers — data that critics warn could be a goldmine for identity thieves or a major security risk if improperly stored or mishandled. Lynn Teague, vice president for issues and action with the League of Women Voters of South Carolina, said she was very concerned. “Anything that looks like a fishing expedition by people who may want to cast doubt on election integrity concerns us deeply.”

The South Carolina Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in a high-stakes case that could force the redrawing of the state’s congressional map. At the center of the case is a challenge to the state’s 2022 congressional map, which plaintiffs argue was drawn to give one political party an unfair advantage. The League of Women Voters, the plaintiffs, say the current map violates voters’ rights by diluting their ability to choose their representatives.

Last year, the US Supreme Court sided with the state’s Republican leaders in a challenge over whether South Carolina’s Congressional map was racially gerrymandered. The League of Women Voters of South Carolina is challenging the latest Congressional map. With it, none of South Carolina’s seven districts are considered tossups that a candidate from either party could win, with six solidly red and Clyburn’s solidly blue.
