The Palmetto state is heating up. Our legislature is trying to sneak this bill in which we believe has potentially nefarious intentions.

PLEASE CALL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE TODAY AND ASK THEM TO NOT VOTE FOR THIS BILL
We are having a bit of an emergency here in SC. They are trying to pull a fast one on us legislatively. This is what they do...incrementalism.
Bill S 406 allows the election official at the county to upload the flash drives of the precincts’ early voting results into the county database. That shouldn’t take too much time. Maybe he or she saves an hour and a half? How long does it take to upload a flash drive?
What this bill does is it gives the state, county, SCYTL, SEC, DHS, CISA and God only knows who else that can hack into the system, early information that would potentially enable a bad actor to have the information to change election outcomes. It gives them a heads up.
The main purpose of this bill is to provide early results to everyone besides the people. Plus, it gives too much power to the executive director of the SEC. The counties have to continuously report in a manner prescribed by the executive director (as opposed to the SEC (State Election Commission)). Current legislation calls for them to report after counting is completed.
Why do they need to do this continuously now? And, why is it prescribed by the Election Director? Seems like too much control/centralization. What is the underlying motivation?
You have to ask these critical questions. Why do they need this info updated continuously throughout the day? Isn't the whole point to keep the results dark until everyone has voted?
This is the whole reason we had an issue with early voting. Now they are just codifying it.
