On October 18, a South Carolina state circuit court heard oral arguments in the lawsuit over the Republican presidential primary. The Republican Party state executive committee had cancelled their 2020 presidential primary, but then some Republican voters sued. State party rules say only the state convention can decide whether to cancel a presidential primary. See this story. Thanks to FrontloadingHQ for this news. A decision is expected in a few weeks.

The case is Inglis v South Carolina Republican Party, Richland Co., 2019-cp-4005486.
