COLUMBIA — Gov. Henry McMaster's emails from his time as lieutenant
governor have been auto-deleted by a government agency without being shared
with state archivers, a move that experts say could violate South
Carolina's public records law.

The policy that led to McMaster's emails disappearing en masse is a common
practice for members of the Legislature. But as an executive position, the
lieutenant governor faces more stringent requirements to preserve documents
under state law.

To transparency advocates in the state, McMaster's missing emails from his
two years in the lieutenant governor's office are just one sign of
widespread problems with public officials and agencies struggling to keep
up with changes in technology.
