House reaffirms need for voters to positively prove identity
(Columbia, SC) - Today, the South Carolina House of Representatives gave approval to a common sense voting provision intended to prevent fraud and defend our voting system from abuse.

South Carolina lawmakers moved closer Thursday to overriding Gov. Mark Sanford's veto of a bill allowing officers to search people on probation or parole without a warrant, and that's a positive step. House Speaker Bobby Harrell expressed it perfectly in response to Sanford's veto, saying: "Probation or parole is not a right.
