Judge Waring in Charleston heard a challenge to South Carolina Democratic primary voting rights for a Columbia Negro who was denied the August 15, 1946 primary. Attorneys for Rice and 58 others argued that voting rights in primaries depend on the primary's role in the statute process, while Elmore's lawyers contended the denial resulted from a technicality and civil rights cannot be erased by procedure.
