The SEC is not allowing the public access to Cast Vote Records

The cast vote records show the timing of votes as they come in for each candidate in a race for a county, precinct or state. These have been distributed to the public via FOIA Freedom of Information Requests in 24 states. Our state of SC is refusing access to these reports because they claim there is publicly identifiable information (PII). This is incorrect. These reports do NOT have any PII.

Some concerned legislators have joined us in asking the AG’s office to reverse an opinion from 2020 just prior to the election that these reports should be disallowed. Here are some related articles.
