Early voting legislation H3608 has been submitted in the state legislative branch. First it was submitted to allow 15 days of early voting the Judiciary Committee changed it to 3 days. I emailed by representatives urging them to restore 15 days of early voting back into the bill.

Will you call your State Representative and ask her/him to vote against 3 day
early voting in South Carolina and support the original 15 days?
