In South Carolina, shabbat ends at 6:46 PM. Who came up with the idea that voting on Saturday until 7 PM is acceptable? Not that there are many Orthodox Jews in South Carolina afaik, but this still disenfranchises them.

I don't think there are many now, but South Carolina actually had the largest Jewish population of anywhere in the country until the 1830s; they were mostly Sephardim. Charleston has a pretty prominent place in American Jewish history.

Play about Southern American Jews in the first half of the 20th century: The Last Night of Ballyhoo.

Set in Atlanta, Georgia, but I think it could have been set anywhere in the Southern U.S except for maybe Florida.
