A group that works to protect and expand voting rights is asking the South Carolina Supreme Court to order lawmakers to redraw the state’s U.S. House districts because they lean too far Republican.

The longest currently serving state senator in the U.S. doesn’t plan to run for office again this year in South Carolina.

Attorneys for convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh want to call jurors and others back into the courtroom in an effort to get a new trial.

South Carolina Republicans are one step closer to restricting how race gets taught in K-12 classrooms.

South Carolina's Republican-controlled Senate is moving to bar citizens of a “foreign adversary” from buying property in the state in an anti-espionage measure that critics fear will chill overseas investments over outsize concerns.

Prosecutors have called their final witnesses in Alex Murdaugh’s double murder trial.

South Carolina is accustomed to increased attention in the years leading up to presidential elections, given that the state has hosted the South’s first voting contests for several of the last cycles.

A law partner of Alex Murdaugh has testified at his double murder trial that more than a dozen people who weren’t first responders or law enforcement walked around the scene of the killings.

A crime scene expert has testified about where the shots were fired at the wife and son of Alex Murdaugh and in what order at his double murder trial.

Alex Murdaugh’s comments to police about his whereabouts around the time his wife and son were fatally shot may not have been accurate.

South Carolina has given the greenlight to firing-squad executions.

A prominent South Carolina lawyer who found the bodies of his wife and son three months ago tried to arrange his own death earlier this month so his son would get a $10 million life insurance payment, but the planned fatal shot only grazed his head, state police said Tuesday.

They said Biden, who is running for president and is a top contender in the upcoming South Carolina primary, should distance himself from Harpootlian following the comments. “His refusal to do so will not go over well in the black community, and it certainly will not go over well with members of the Black Caucus that are standing behind me.”Harpootlian denies that his comments were racially motivated. In a statement provided to The Associated Press, he went on to call Harpootlian's comments “Trump-like dirty campaign tactics that the Biden campaign should not tolerate." Steyer has since been endorsed by other South Carolina lawmakers, including state Sen. John Scott, another member of the Black Caucus. Govan previously supported Biden, serving as an adviser and co-chairman of his 2008 presidential campaign in South Carolina.
