‘Jubilation’: South Carolina Republicans dominate federal, state and local races
A rainy Election Day did not deter South Carolinians from casting their ballots for federal, state and local races.
In Greenville County, turnout was around 65%, according to Elections Director Conway Belangia. Spartanburg County saw a turnout rate of about 72%, and 66% of registered voters turned out in Anderson.
Voter turnout was about 67% statewide.
Before Election Day, more than 1.5 million voters had cast a ballot either through early voting or absentee ballots.
In the 4th Congressional District, Democrat Kathryn Harvey looked to unseat Incumbent William Timmons but failed to capture enough votes.
“This community really has turned out. The support has been overwhelming,” Harvey said.
The district has a GOP stronghold and has not elected a Democrat since Bob Inglis unseated Liz Patterson in 1992. But, Harvey says it is a “misnomer” that the district’s voters prefer “hardline politics.”
“The folks who maybe have never voted Democrat before but wanted to talk about issues with me and are willing to think about the person that they want to represent them and not just the party, has been incredible,” Harvey said.
During her campaign, Harvey criticized Timmons for not being present in the 4th congressional district and for not voting to certify the 2020 election.
“At the end of the day, the election law changes that the Democrats pushed were unconstitutional, and you can call it cheating. You can call it whatever you want, but at the end of the day, you can’t change the rules of the game right before the game is over,” Timmons said.
SC Democrats undeterred
Though South Carolina overall voted for former President Donald Trump overwhelmingly, Democrats still proudly cast a ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Maxine Duckett said the issue top of mind for her was women’s rights, adding that Trump was a “bully.”
“He is a person that’s really saying, ‘Hey, it’s okay to be bullying’,” Duckett said.
As a mother of three daughters, ages 24, 19, and 14, Duckett said, voting for the country’s potential first female president was “important.”
For Dante Tabor, Duckett’s partner, voting was a way for him to use his voice as a person who is physically disabled. Tabor was born conjoined to his twin brother, who later died.
“I can do anything that a normal person can do. I might be special, I might got a learning disability, but I can do things that normal people can do. And I think it’s time for my voice to be heard,” Tabor said. It was his first time voting.
For Greenville County GOP chairwoman Yvonne Julian, the mood at the headquarters was “jubilation.”
“There’s a lot of happiness and, you know, pride in the job that we’ve done, and a lot of excitement.”

With 77 days until South Carolina football kicks off 2026 season, a look back at No. 77 George Schecterly
South Carolina football will take the field for the first time in 2026 on September 5 against Kent State. Williams-Brice Stadium will play host to the Gamecocks and Golden Flashes at 12:45 p.m., just 77 days from today.
The No. 77 is often worn by offensive linemen. One of two tough-nosed offensive tackles in a fun Gamecock era wore the number, as George Schechterly played for the Gamecocks from 1978 to 1980.
Questions about this story? Kevin Miller is discussing it with subscribers on The Insiders Forum.
Schechterly actually began his career at Penn State, playing for legendary coach Joe Paterno. However, as a redshirt, he didn’t meet the conditioning requirements to stay with the Nittany Lions. South Carolina gave him a second chance, and the offensive lineman dedicated himself to getting better. It paid off in a big way.
Despite being a little undersized, Schechterly earned a starting job at right tackle for the Gamecocks. He played opposite left tackle Chuck Slaughter, and the duo excelled at sealing off defensive ends with reach blocks.
That proved to be a big deal for South Carolina, as a running back named George Rogers made defenses pay on toss sweep plays. Of course, Rogers wound up winning the 1980 Heisman Trophy, and Schechterly and Slaughter provided a lot of assistance. The toss sweep play worked so well that the fanbase often joked that the best ideas in the team’s playbook were “George Sweep Right” and “George Sweep Left.”

That same 1980 season, Schechterly was an All-Independent selection at tackle and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the top overall blocker among Independent School blockers. He was USC’s only tackle ever to earn the honor, though several interior blockers did.
Following his graduation, Schechterly played briefly in the NFL, CFL, and USFL.
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – Texas A&M baseball added left-handed pitcher, Logan Prisco, out of South Carolina through the transfer portal on Friday night.
Prisco worked as a relief pitcher for the Gamecocks this past season, appearing in 20 games. He posted a 3.45 ERA while tallying 34 strikeouts.
Prisco is the fifth pitcher the Aggies have picked up in the offseason along with Caleb Kimble (Houston), Johnny Nuanez (Wichita State), Jase Evangelista (UNLV) and Wade Cooper (Texas State). Prisco is the eighth overall player added to the Aggies roster this offseason.
Prisco will have two seasons of eligibility once he is in College Station.
