U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) made this statement on the Supreme Court decision Shelby County v Holder.

“Voting is a fundamental right guaranteed to all United States citizens.
I will continue to do everything in my power to ensure elections are
free and fair for every South Carolinian.

“Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act was a necessary tool to preserve
voting rights, but due to the reform and advances in South Carolina
election law, it is no longer necessary. The Supreme Court noted this
tremendous progress in South Carolina’s electoral system and it was the
underpinning of their decision. I concur with the Court that our state
has made tremendous progress.

“The Supreme Court decision now puts South Carolina on equal footing
with every other state in the nation. As a South Carolinian, I’m glad
we will no longer be singled out and treated differently than our sister
states.”
