Summary
A legal showdown is brewing in South Carolina as Danny Ford II, eyeing Lindsey Graham’s Senate seat, sues the GOP for de-certifying him under new rules requiring candidates to have voted in at least two of the last three statewide primaries. Ford claims he met the criteria — voting in the 2022 commissioner primaries — and argues the rules are unconstitutional. He’s not just seeking reinstatement; he’s challenging the rules themselves. With the party silent for now, this case could reshape how political parties vet candidates — and what’s legally permissible.
