South Carolina dodged a bullet for midterm elections, officials say - Statehouse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The long-simmering fight over voting in this fall’s midterm elections came to a rolling boil this week when the U.S. Supreme Court effectively killed President Trump’s plan to give the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) unprecedented control over mail-in ballots in all 50 states. Trump condemned the decision in a Tuesday social media post, saying “the Supreme Court has really let our country down.” “It is a big loss for Republicans, and America itself, and makes cheating by the radical left ‘Dumocrats’
Scott turns up volume at GOP midterm convention - Statehouse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For about 24 hours this week, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina was the talk of American politics after he delivered an old-fashioned stemwinder of a speech at President Donald Trump’s made-for-streaming midterm GOP convention in Dallas. “This is a battle for the heart of our nation — I said, the heart of our nation!

Infrastructure has moment across South Carolina - Statehouse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For decades, infrastructure has been what politicians and journalists call a “MEGO issue” — that is, one that’s important enough to deserve attention, but not captivating enough to hold it.

In fact, judging by rece

Read excerpt
With the nationâs midterm elections only two months away, President Donald Trump wants hamburger prices down by election day â a goal heâs willing to pursue by allowing an additional 300,000 metric tons of foreign beef into the country over the next 90 days. And Americaâs ranchers â including many here in South Carolina â aren't happy about it. Trump explained the idea as he boarded Air Force One last week on his way to campaign for U.S. Sen. Darline Graham in Myrtle Beach. âWe wan
Ticket toppers: Wilson, Johnson make cases for governor - Statehouse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The late Lee Atwater likely wouldn’t have known what to make of it. Opponents who don’t tear into each other — or even mention the other guy’s name? That’s just not how Atwater, the bad-boy Palmetto State Republican operative who famously exported South Carolina’s gleefully savage brand of bare-knuckles politics to the rest of the nation in the 1980s, played the game. And yet, in interviews last week, state Attorney General Alan Wilson and Rep. Jermaine Johnson, the respective Republican and Dem
