ELECTION DAY: Polls open at 7 a.m. across South Carolina

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) – Voters who did not take advantage of early voting in the Palmetto State will be able to cast their ballots starting at 7 a.m. Tuesday.
Polls will be open through 7 p.m. statewide. Any voter who is in line at 7 p.m. will be allowed to cast their vote.

Over the last two weeks, a record number of South Carolinians — just over a million-and-a-half people either in person or via mail — voted early. That’s about 46 percent of the state’s registered voters. But unlike the early voting period, voters who will cast ballots on Election Day must go to their specific polling locations.
Voters must have a valid photo ID to check-in. Acceptable forms of photo ID include a South Carolina driver’s license, a South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles ID Card, a South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit, a South Carolina voter registration card with photo, a United States military ID and a United States passport.

If you still have an absentee ballot, the return deadline for those is 7 p.m. on Election Day. Voters are encouraged to return their ballots in person to ensure it is received before the deadline.
The State Election Commission says if you’re voting Tuesday, it’s hard to predict how long you might have to wait in line, though typically more people go in the morning. But they say South Carolina’s strong early voting turnout should help with overall wait times.
Multiple organizations including the Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority, the South Carolina Coalition for Voter Participation and the Airport Limo Taxi Association at the Charleston International Airport are offering free rides to the polls.
The biggest battle in the 2024 general election is the race for the White House between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump.
But for the Lowcountry, U.S. Congressional races will decide who represents the state’s First, Sixth and Seventh Districts.
In the First District, which includes portions of Berkeley and Beaufort Counties as well as portions of Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester and Jasper Counties, incumbent Republican Nancy Mace is hoping to keep her seat as Democrat Michael Moore challenges.
Democrat Jim Clyburn, first elected to represent the Sixth Congressional District in 1992, faces a challenge from Republican Duke Buckner and three others. That district covers all or part of 14 South Carolina counties, including all of Williamsburg County and portions of Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Jasper and Orangeburg Counties.
South Carolina’s Seventh Congressional District, which covers all or part of eight counties, including Georgetown County, features a fight for votes between incumbent Rep. Russell Fry, a Republican; and challenger Mal Hyman, a Democrat.
Lowcountry voters will also select the state‘s Ninth Circuit Solicitor, the top prosecutor for the state’s Ninth Circuit. Republican incumbent Scarlett Wilson is facing a challenge from Democrat David Osborne. The Ninth Circuit covers Berkeley and Charleston Counties.
Two other Lowcountry solicitor candidates are unopposed. Solicitor David Pascoe, a Democrat, is running unopposed in the First Circuit, which covers Calhoun, Orangeburg and Dorchester Counties. In the Fourteenth Circuit, which covers Allendale, Colleton, Hampton, Beaufort and Jasper Counties, Republican Duffie Stone is also running unopposed.
In six Lowcountry counties, voters will decide who will be sheriff. In Charleston County, incumbent Democrat Kristin Graziano faces a challenge from Republican Carl Ritchie, the former police chief in Mount Pleasant. In Colleton County, Buddy Hall, a Republican; faces a challenge from Democrat Alyssa Bodison. Dorchester County Chief Deputy Sam Richardson, a Republican; hopes to defeat Democratic challenger Charles Frederick III. And in Georgetown County, Republican incumbent Carter Weaver is fighting Democrat Birt Adams for the job.
Democratic incumbent Sheriffs Leroy Ravenel of Orangeburg County and Stephen Gardner of Williamsburg County are running unopposed.
Most of the coroner‘s races feature a single candidate. But in Charleston County, Democratic challenger Frank Broccolo is hoping to unseat Republican incumbent Bobbi Jo O’Neal.
In Charleston County, Democratic incumbent County Treasurer Mary Tinkler is hoping to keep her seat against Republican challenger Mike Van Horn.
The election includes scores of races in the South Carolina State House as well as Lowcountry county council and school board members.
In South Carolina, members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms while members of the Senate serve four-year terms. But in this year’s election, every seat in both houses will be up for reelection.
All South Carolina voters will also decide whether the state’s constitution must be amended to prohibit non-citizens from voting in the state.
Voters in different counties may face additional ballot questions. One of the most watched ballot questions will likely face Charleston County voters, who will decide on renewing a half-cent transportation sales tax that will generate nearly $5 billion for road projects, including the completion of the Mark Clark Extension project, and $432 million for greenbelt projects.
Polls will close at 7 p.m. statewide. The counting of the ballots will not begin until that time, although State Election Commission officials are confident all of the state races will be decided by the end of the evening.

How to Watch Oklahoma’s Top 15 Clash With Ole Miss

Oklahoma is once again at the center of an exciting weekend in the Southeastern Conference.
Brent Venables’ Sooners shook off the loss to Texas with a poised showing against South Carolina.
OU leaned on its running game and a dominant defensive showing to power past the Gamecocks 26-7 in the program’s first-ever trip to Williams-Brice Stadium, which set up a top 15 matchup and another first.
Ole Miss makes its inaugural trip to Gaylord-Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on Saturday (11 a.m., ABC). Lane Kiffin’s squad notched a 26-14 win over the Sooners last year in Oxford, extending the Rebels’ all-time lead in the series to 2-0.
Mississippi first defeated Oklahoma 27-25 in the 1999 Independence Bowl in Bob Stoops’ first year in Norman.
Both teams look significantly different than the teams that contested last year’s matchup.
Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart moved on to the NFL, where he now starts for the New York Giants, while the OU starting quarterback, Jackson Arnold, is struggling at Auburn.
John Mateer replaced Arnold in Norman, and he also enjoyed a bounce-back performance over the weekend.
He wasn’t asked to push the ball too far downfield in his second start since undergoing hand surgery, but Mateer did plenty.
Mateer completed 18-of-26 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown against South Carolina, and he added 14 rushing yards on eight carries. Crucially, he avoided turning the ball over, which has been a small blip on even his best performances in an OU uniform so far.
True freshman running back Tory Blaylock got the biggest workload on the ground, carrying the ball 19 times for 101 yards and a touchdown, and sophomore Xavier Robinson paired with Blaylock to rush 11 times for 58 yards and a touchdown.
The new Rebel leader is Ferris State transfer Trinidad Chambliss.
He took hold of the starting quarterback spot for Ole Miss after Austin Simmons sustained an injury earlier this year, and Chambliss hasn’t looked back.
Chambliss has completed 62.7 percent of his passes this year for 1,549 yards and eight touchdowns while throwing only one interception. He’s also totaled 323 rushing yards and five scores on the ground on 70 carries.
He completed 19-of-36 passes for 263 yards and one touchdown in Saturday’s 43-35 loss to Georgia, which represented the first setback of the year for Ole Miss.
Texas A&M and Alabama remain the only two teams that have yet to lose in SEC play this year, and OU and Mississippi are two of six teams with one loss in conference play so far. Saturday’s battle between the Sooners and the Rebels represents another key matchup in the race to see which two teams will battle for the SEC Championship in Atlanta this winter.
