Study: South Carolina voter ID law hit black precincts hardest - Mackenzie Weinger - POLITICO.com: "A new South Carolina voter identification law is impacting predominantly black precincts more than others in the state, according to a study by The Associated Press.

The measure requires that every person have a photo ID of some kind when they vote, whether it is a driver’s license, military ID or passport, the AP wrote. The law has been under review by the Department of Justice to see whether it violates the Voting Rights Act."
