flag South Carolina fired top election officials over a $4M overspend and security breaches in a voting machine contract.

flag South Carolina’s election agency fired its chairman and two top officials after an investigation revealed a $4 million overspend on a $28 million voting machine contract, bringing total costs to $32 million. flag The firings followed findings of undisclosed financial discrepancies and the discovery of a hidden recording device in a private meeting room. flag While the agency denied the dismissals were linked to disputes over sharing sensitive voter data, concerns remain about data security and transparency. flag The state continues to seek legally binding safeguards for sharing voter information, including Social Security numbers, with other states to prevent duplicate registrations. flag At least three state agencies are now investigating the contract and related issues.
