More confirmation on the Republican controlled South Carolina State Election Commission instituting a rule taking voters off the "active" roles and not publicizing it.   

Specifically, they are taking voters who haven't voted in the past 2 years off the active voter roles, requiring them to bring extra documents proving their legal residence to the polls.  Yesterday we heard from the chairwoman of the State Elections Commission, Marilyn Bowers. that they've sent out postcards to those who haven't voted in the past two years requiring them to  return the postcard confirming their residence or else removing them from the roles. 

 If registered (but "inactive" voters show up--even with a voter registration card and ID--the poll worker STILL has to phone the Election Commission before voting is permitted. 

Important points:  
1.) The decision to remove voters who are registered haven't voted in two years from "active voter" roles has not been put in writing.
2. Something like 19,000 voters are affected in Charleston county alone, not including the rest of  the state--according to the analysis Charleston Country Democrats have run with out voting information software.   A disproportionate number are black.
3.  Marilyn Bowers, the chairwoman of the Charleston County Election Commission explained to our (Democratic) staffer over the phone what the procedures would be yesterday.  She is not the responsible party for making the decision however--that would be the SC State Election Commission. 
4. The State Election Commission website says nothing about this new rule and the postcards they sent out which would remove voters from the active voting roles.  Where is the public notice?
