The article on SC's second ALEC bill on voting doesn't mention that another bill to limit voting is working its way through the State House. H 4549 would impose draconian requirements and fines on anyone who tried to register voters. Every form would have to be accounted for, and every signed form would have to be turned in within two days. Fines go up to $1,000 and more. (Similar legislation in Florida is now in the courts.) The League of Women Voters has announced they would probably have to withdraw from registration efforts. Why is the southern GOP so afraid of voters?
