Dems Oppose Condon Memo on Dual Voter Registration
Democrats criticize an idea in a memo by South Carolina Attorney General Charlie Condon proposing a two tier voter registration system to counter the federal motor voter law. Spokeswoman Jennifer Graham says Condon only presented a factual option, not an endorsement, while Democrats warn of disenfranchising poorer and minority voters. The memo notes Illinois and Mississippi using dual registration, but officials deny advocating it.
