South Carolina pushes the Holder Justice Department to explain their distorted analysis of Section 5 and caselaw relating to photo ID.  The Voting Section will be forced to explain why they don’t seem able to comprehend what the Supreme Court meant when they wrote that photo ID was non-discriminatory and placed no additional burden on voters not already required by the act of actually visiting a polling place.  They will also have to explain why the Department is requiring South Carolina to provide proof of fraud to justify the photo ID requirement when the Supreme Court specifically noted that this proof was not necessary or required to jusitfy the reform as the state has a independent interest to increase voter confidence and belief that measures are being taken to prevent registration or voting fraud.
