The Honorable William P. Barr

Attorney General of the United States
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20530

Dear Attorney General Barr:

We write with concern over the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election. We thank you
for authorizing federal prosecutors to pursue substantial allegations of voting and vote tabulation
irregularities prior to the certification of elections nationwide. The South Carolina General
Assembly worked hard to ensure that all legal SC voters could request an absentee ballot
due to COVID-19. We enacted measures and precautions to guarantee that all legally eligible
voters could cast their ballots securely and confidently.

As the genius of the United States electoral college system permits, South Carolina awards its
electors to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes in our state. While South
Carolina and many other states took all necessary precautions to prevent fraud and limit abuse,
we are concerned that our electors are being devalued by potential fraud in multiple other states
as it affects the outcome of this presidential election.

While each state operates its own election process, the United States Department of Justice is
ultimately responsible for the integrity of federal elections. Without the utmost confidence that
the process was legitimate, it is difficult for Americans to accept the outcome.

Election fraud on any scale is unacceptable and it is especially dangerous if it changes the
outcome of an election. With reports of potential fraud from Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina we are extremely concerned about the
legitimacy of the presidential election.

South Carolinians and all Americans want an honest outcome and to know that their legal votes
mattered. The very bedrock of our constitutional republic depends on the integrity and
democratic process of our elections.

By investigating substantial allegations of voting and vote tabulation irregularities, the DOJ can
assure Americans that the presidential election was fair, honest and legitimate. Thank you for
your efforts.

Sincerely,

SC HOUSE MEMBERS:
