South Carolina–(ENEWSPF)–October 11, 2012. A three-judge US District Court panel yesterday upheld South Carolina’s restrictive new voter ID law, but ordered that the law go into effect after November’s election. South Carolina softened its interpretation of the law during litigation. Under that interpretation, voters without proper photo ID are required to cast provisional ballots, although the presumption is that the voters’ ballots will be counted unless a clear case can be made that they lied about why they do not have proper ID.
