South Carolina voter registration forms do not ask voters about party membership, and any voter is free to choose any party’s primary ballot. In the June 2018 primary, voters who choose a Republican primary ballot will be asked to vote on whether the state should ask about party membership on voter registration forms. South Carolina lets parties put advisory questions on their own primary ballots. See this story.
More deja vu all over again lunacy in SC — like shooting at Ft Sumter in Apr 1861 — military start of 1861-1865 Civil War 1 = DOOM for slave oligarchs >>> 13 Amdt Dec 1865.
Each faction/fraction of PUBLIC electors-voters is NOT an independent empire.

If the South Carolina legislature should decide someday to start partisan registration, it would be interesting to see what vote and/or registration requirement is chosen for not only the 2 major parties but also alternate ones.
South Carolina requires 10,000 signatures for a new party to get on the ballot. Once it does that, it can remain on forever as long as it continues to run at least one candidate every four years. So they don’t really need any tweaks if they put in partisan registration.
