Just in: A South Carolina circuit court judge has temporarily blocked @henrymcmaster's decision to use $32M of federal coronavirus aid to fund private school vouchers
postandcourier.com/politics/sc-ju…
@henrymcmaster Skyler Hutto, the son of @BradHutto, argued McMaster's plan violates a portion of the state constitution that prevents the government from funding private/religious education.

Judge Edgar Dickson agreed to halt the spending until a court hearing next week

Response from @henrymcmaster's spox (1/2):

"Working families in South Carolina are struggling to make ends meet during this pandemic and every parent should have the opportunity to choose the educational instruction that best suits their child’s needs."

Response from @henrymcmaster's spox (2/2):

"Federal coronavirus relief cannot, and should not, be denied to any citizen in need."

The dispute is scheduled to receive a court hearing next Wednesday in Orangeburg.

Good morning from Beaufort, where @PeteButtigieg is set to begin a weekend in South Carolina.

Several hundred folks were undeterred by the rain and are now filing in. #SC2020
@PeteButtigieg Opening with a shoutout to SC Dems, GA Dems and IN Dems in attendance, @PeteButtigieg says "we know that there is no such thing as a permanently red state." #SC2020
"There has never been a moment of greater urgency," @PeteButtigieg tells Dem voters in Beaufort, listing plans for rural healthcare/internet, tackling systemic racism and gun safety.

"I think we may even be under-reacting to the stakes of the moment we're living in." #SC2020
