So. Carolina GOP strategist thinks non-whites not being allowed to vote is awesome

The Associated Press put out a story this week showing that South Carolina’s voter I.D. law ‘appears to be hitting black precincts in the state the hardest.’
One person who really loved the story was Wesley Donehue, the CEO of Donehue Direct and a political strategist for the South Carolina Senate Republican Caucus, who took to Twitter to write that the story ‘proves EXACTLY why we need Voter ID in SC.’
It wasn’t long until Donehue’s tweet was bouncing all around the progressive twittersphere. In subsequent tweets, Donehue clarified that he wasn’t talking about the fact that the story showed, for example, that ‘among the state’s 2,134 precincts there are 10 precincts where nearly all of the law’s affect falls on nonwhite voters who don’t have a state-issued driver’s license or ID card, a total of 1,977 voters.’
Rather Donehue said the story ‘has proven that a bunch of non-South Carolinians are voting in SC elections. Did they vote in other states too?? FRAUD!’
