In a significant legal decision, the South Carolina Supreme Court has overturned a lower court ruling that had prevented the Department of Justice, under former President Donald Trump, from accessing the state’s voter rolls.
This reversal marks a critical development in the ongoing debates over voter registration and election integrity in the United States. Leading the charge in these efforts is Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who is actively working to identify and eliminate ineligible and illegal voters from state databases, a move that has sparked considerable discussion and controversy.
The ruling is expected to have wide-reaching implications for election-related legal battles and the integrity of voter rolls not only in South Carolina but potentially in other states as well.

Lindsey. Whoops.
What the hell is controversial about eliminating illegal and ineligible voters from the roles?
Winning another one for Charlie.

Racist and stuff.
Also, Appeals court allows President Trump to defund Planned Parenthood. Abortion clinics set to close because of this victory.
“A federal appeals court cleared the way on Thursday for U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to implement a provision of his recently enacted tax and spending bill that would deprive Planned Parenthood and its members of Medicaid funding.
The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to put on hold a preliminary injunction issued in July by a lower-court judge who concluded the law likely violated the U.S. Constitution by targeting Planned Parenthood’s health centers specifically as punishment for providing abortions.”
Former President Donald Trump????????
I took a nap, did something else happen?
I didn’t catch that when reading the article.
But no, Trump is fine.
Another article:
COLUMBIA — South Carolina can begin giving voter information to the federal government, the state Supreme Court said in a Thursday opinion.
The six-page opinion overturned a circuit court judge’s decision last week that the state must hold onto its data on 3.3 million registered voters — including names, birthdays, addresses, drivers’ license numbers and final digits of Social Security numbers — while a lawsuit plays out over privacy concerns.
The U.S. Department of Justice asked for that information last month as part of a push by the Trump administration to get every state’s voter rolls.
Under the Supreme Court’s decision, the state Election Commission could hand over its voter information right away, said Senate Minority Leader Brad Hutto, who is representing a voter suing to stop the release of her personal information.
Whether the commission will do so is unclear. An agency spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.
The agency began working to comply with the Trump administration’s request Aug. 27, three weeks after it sent the first of two letters asking for the information, spokesman John Michael Catalano said previously. The Department of Justice set a due date of Sept. 5, two days after the circuit court judge’s order barred the state from complying.
The Supreme Court’s order, which all five justices signed, didn’t get into the questions of privacy raised in the lawsuit. Instead, justices focused on procedural issues in the order barring the state from fulfilling the request.
Former President Donald Trump?
I caught that, too. I think wishful thinking on the writer’s part.
Lousy wording no doubt
They probably meant to say
“The Dept. Of Justice during Donald Trump’s first term as president”
