The msiority report in the case OF Miller
versus Elliott, from the Seventh South Car
DINA district, was submitted 10 the House
by the committee on elections today. The
report is somewhat sensational. in that Ii
declares that the entire South Carolina
registration and election laws are uncon-
stitutional. The basis for this deciara-
ton IS that the state law inn
poses . number of restrictions upon the
exercise of the right Of suffrage. which
are in conflict with the state constitution.
The report also states that number Of
negroes have been compelled by poverty,
while awaiting the maturing OF their cot
ton crops. to negotiate their registration
certificates TO the Democrats. who immedi-
ateiy sent them to political headquarters,
with the result that the negroes are perma-
nently disfranchised.
The report recitss the fact that in certain
precincts the ballot boxes were separated
in the case OF each Office, and that voters
were deceived by al intentional shift Of
the boxes, so that the judges OF election
were able to throw out all of the ballots cast
