The proposed “Citizens Only Voting Amendment” is designed to modify the state constitution explicitly to clarify that only U.S. citizens are permitted to participate in the electoral process. This clarification was solidified with overwhelming support in the South Carolina House of Representatives, sailing through with a unanimous 105-0 vote on May 2. The prior month saw similar enthusiasm in the Senate, where Senate Joint Resolution 1126 was passed with a commanding 40-3 margin.
