Trump Backs Pamela Evette in SC Governor Race with Sweeping Voting-Restriction Plan

Trump endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette in South Carolina’s GOP gubernatorial primary, backing a candidate who has outlined a sweeping voting-restriction agenda—ending the “reasonable impediment” ID option, requiring citizenship proof for registration, expanding purge methods and data sharing, using federal voter data systems, and creating an Election Integrity Unit to police alleged fraud—positions critics say would curb access to the ballot. The endorsement underscores Trump’s pattern of backing loyalists on voting rights, while Evette’s lead in polls is narrow and the ultimate impact of the backing remains uncertain.
