South Carolina legislators are again considering changes to how the state vets its judges, this time giving the governor total control of the panel that screens them. Only one organization , the state League of Women Voters, testified on the bill. Lynn Teague, LWVSC, said the organization supports keeping legislators off the panel as a way to balance powers between the branches of government. But the League would still like to see the General Assembly have some voice in who sits on that panel. Teague said the League also is opposed to the new anti-DEI language. "We need a judiciary that looks more like South Carolina."

Voting by mail, mail-in voting, and absentee ballot voting are all (slightly different) processes you can follow to cast your ballot through the mail. Whichever processes your state uses, voting by mail has been a staple of US elections for over 100 years.
