South Carolina GOP Reacts To DOJ Decision

The Justice Department announced yesterday that it will block a new voter ID law in South Carolina that requires voters to present a valid photo ID at the polls.

Critics of the new law have argued that it will discourage and prevent minorities in the state from casting ballots.

Today, South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Chad Connelly responded to the news:

“The Obama administration has once again decided that Washington knows best. Requiring voter identification is a common sense safeguard. This administration continues to trample on the states, and voters know that every potential Republican nominee would be one thousand times better than Barack Obama.”
