🚨 South Carolina Poll Station not letting American submit their own ballots

Verdict: Misleading

South Carolina allows disabled and elderly voters (above the age of 65) to vote from their car. It is not evidence of voter fraud.

Fact Check:

Social media users are claiming that South Carolina poll stations are “not letting American [sic] submit their own ballots.” These claims are often accompanied by a man in his car who is saying that they “push the buttons for you” and that these people “were all Democrats.”

This claim is misleading, however. South Carolina allows disabled and elderly voters to vote from their car on the curbside outside of polling places, according to the South Carolina State Elections Commission. The commission also released a video about the process.

“Only the voter is allowed in the vehicle while voting unless the voter is entitled to assistance. The driver and other passengers in the vehicle are not entitled to vote curbside unless they individually meet the qualifications,” the website reads.

John Catalano, a public information officer for the South Carolina State Elections Commission, told Check Your Fact in an email that the claim was “not accurate.” (RELATED: Are Voters In Kentucky Receiving Ballots Pre-Marked For Kamala Harris?)

“While the vast majority of voters vote inside the polling place, state law does allow voters who are unable to access the polling place or stand in line to vote due to a disability or being age 65 or older to vote in their vehicle (curbside voting). Note that only the voter is allowed in the vehicle while voting curbside unless the voter is entitled to assistance. The driver and other passengers in the vehicle are not entitled to vote curbside unless they individually meet the qualifications,” Catalano said.

“Voters with disabilities and voters who are blind or unable to read or write may receive assistance in voting. Voters must inform a poll manager if they require assistance. The voter may choose anyone to assist in casting their ballot except for their employer, an agent of their employer, or an officer or agent of their union. While a voter may receive assistance in voting, only the voter is allowed to make the selections on their ballot,” Catalano added.
