The South Carolina Supreme Court will soon construe the state’s election law to determine if the Republican Party must pay for all of the administrative costs of the January 21, 2012 Republican presidential primary. The Court issued a briefing schedule, and all briefs will have been filed by November 7. The case is Beaufort County v South Carolina Election Commission.
Let me guess. The entire Supreme Court is Republican.
I think I know where this is going to go for the taxpayers. Hide your wallet South Carolinians.
Your guess would be wrong. The SCSC is a notoriously tetchy and unpredictable institution. I wouldn’t lay money on how this would work out.
