SC Supreme Court Overturns Husband and Wife Voting Law
The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled unanimously that a two year old law allowing husbands and wives to vote together in a single booth violates the secret ballot requirement in the state constitution. The decision upheld Greenville County Election Commission challenges and cited prior rulings warning against permitting shared voting booths. The court rejected arguments that secrecy is absolute and noted potential broader access to shared voting.
