WYETHWIRE REPORTS that the South Carolina loyalty oath has been abandoned.

UPDATE: Jesse at Pandagon says that there never was a loyalty oath, though I don’t really get that. At any rate, if the only purpose is to keep people from voting in more than one primary, an oath seems like a poor method. Around here, the voting machines only let you vote in one or the other, and it is, of course, illegal to vote more than once — as, I assume, it is in South Carolina.

Jesse is clearly and indefensibly wrong, however, in his statement that “Knibb High Football RULES.” Everyone with any sense knows that Maryville High football rules.
