Fund-raising BS from black organizations. Almost every one of these laws has been struck down in the federal courts.

But not in SC. Our voter ID law went into effect on Jan 1, 2013 and has survived all challenges. Mostly because of how Governor Nikki Haley implemented the law.

The poor folks lamented they couldn't afford a picture ID. Gov. Haley made all IDs free.

The poor folks then lamented that they had no transportation to the DMV to get their free ID. Gov. Haley made government vehicles available to drive these folks to the DMV.

Those two steps pretty much ended the protests.

Here's the law in SC:

Beginning January 1, 2013 you will be asked to show ONE of the following Photo ID's at your polling place:

• S.C. Driver's License
• ID Card issued by S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles
• S.C. Voter Registration Card with Photo
• Federal Military ID
• U.S. Passport
