"I predict Holder and "his people" will loose this one big time. The SC law is virtually identical to the Indiana law which passed SCOTUS review

The ID law is subject to DOJ review and approval under the Federal Voting Rights Act. SC's voter ID law will never stand.

The ID law is subject to DOJ review and approval under the Federal Voting Rights Act.

I believe that provision of the Federal Voting Rights Act is applicable only to states which have had a history of Jim Crow, i.e., the states of the Old Confederacy and perhaps some border states.

My feeling is that we've reached a point in our history where we can safely and fairly repeal that specific provision, but you can bet that the Obama-Holder DOJ will attempt to block the SC ID law. In that event, I believe that SC could file suit against the DOJ in federal court, and that the AG of SC has already announced the intention to do so.
