“S.C. election agency withholds ID list”

AP: “South Carolina’s Election Commission said Friday it would seek the state attorney general’s opinion on whether it must immediately release a list of voters who lack state-issued driver’s licenses or ID cards required by a new law. Agency spokesman Christ Whitmire declined Thursday and Friday to release the names of nearly 217,000 active voters who lack that photo identification. He said it’s unclear whether the list must be released while the U.S. Justice Department reviews parts of the law. He also said there are concerns about privacy and whether groups with ‘bad’ information will contact voters before the Election Commission.”
