People with disabilities challenge South Carolina’s voter assistance limits in federal lawsuit
People with disabilities have filed a federal lawsuit alongside the NAACP South Carolina State Conference challenging South Carolina's restrictions on voter assistance, arguing that the rules violate the federal Voting Rights Act and could curb their ability to participate in upcoming elections.
They contend that South Carolina’s draconian voting restrictions violate Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act, which commits to protecting the right for “any voter who requires assistance to vote by reason of blindness, disability, or inability to read or write” to receive such assistance from a person they choose.
