Over 200 candidates knocked out of the running before the first vote was cast, names appearing on the ballot that could not be chosen and voters confused by district changes and overwhelmed by a constant barrage of “who’s the latest to be kicked off the ballot” does not bode well for a successful day of voting. But South Carolinians still came out to vote yesterday, far fewer than we would have liked but they did come out.
So what happened?
Before we turned our attention to the South Carolina flawed State and local primary, we looked talked about Cash Mob, Smallknot.com and Cake Notice
We listened to the voice of the people with some “Man on the Street” interviews with average citizens and enjoyed hearing for candidate for State Senate District 7, Greenville City Councilwoman Lillian Brock Flemming.
We concluded with advice for Primary day.
Hope you all go out and vote tomorrow!
South Carolina’s local and state primary is just 1 week away and we are here to help you be prepared to let your voice be heard. Above you will see a tab entitled SC Primary. Currently we have a list of all the candidates that have been removed from the primary ballot in the Upstate and a complete ballot for Greenville County. We are working on the Spartanburg ballot and will be posting a primer on the candidates in a few days. Hopefully, these will be tools that you can use to make informed choices next Tuesday. If you think of anything else that we can do to help prepare folks, please leave us a comment below.
Remember, it is our voices that need to be heard next week, so go out and vote!
We take a deeper look into the mess that our SC June primary has become. Curtis Askew, who has done extensive research into the Primary debacle for Beyond Differences and some of the candidates joined us with his analysis.
Sydney Williams with Smallknot joined us to promote a unique way to jump start our local economy, a Cash Mob.
With Iowa and New Hampshire behind them, the six remaining Republican presidential candidates have swarmed South Carolina, pinning their hopes for a clear shot to unseat President Obama on the First Primary in the South. While we have had periodic visits from all of them over the last few months, the full frontal assault for South Carolina votes began in earnest Wednesday. (more…)
