Dear Senator Cash

South Carolina lawmakers can revisit major issues year after year, but many voters still struggle to have their voices heard in the decisions that shape state policy. Gerrymandered districts and low primary turnout shape who holds power and whose voices carry the most weight in the Statehouse. Recent action at the Statehouse shows how district maps and ballot access rules can limit how much influence voters really have in South Carolina. At the center is a simple question for Senator Richard Cash and the legislature: what does democracy look like when voters cannot decide the issues that affect them most?
