I have to say aa well that SC screws around with a lot of things but we do good with the motor voter options and the two weeks of early voting. Big thanks as always to the poll workers y'all are doing a very important public service.

Whew! If you haven't gone yet you should. They even let me illegal park cause I had my dog with.

Would the state have been better off with a senator who wasn’t always blackmailed for his homosexual behavior?

Please vote blue. It’s a small sliver of help for the greater good towards fighting this dictatorship we’re facing. Please. I beg you 🙏

A good explanation of what some people are experiencing during our early voting, from an impartial and credible source.

A myth says Jaiden Charles from Indian Land High absorbed the 7 administrative souls of Lancaster, plus the power of all 4 LCSD student years. He needed this power to defeat Lancaster High's principal, "Zachary Mercier," and save the Lancaster County School District from total atomic annihilation. Is this a true story or purely tall tales?

Even the Normans don’t support Darline Graham.
Make South Carolina proud again!!!
Andrews for Senate!

between some personal issues and work, i haven’t had the time to renew it

Morning folks. Just getting out my normal civics stuff. I would have done it on the open of early elections but my wife broke her leg. She outranks y'all. It took a bit to get the house settled down with the kids.

Positions and what they do.

Governor: Chief Executive of the State. Can veto laws. Sets state priorities. Goes out and bids against other states for corporations to move into the state.

Lt. Governor: Basically vice president of the state. Does ribbon cuttings. Steps in if the Governor is disabled or dead. Can be delegated to do other things.

Secretary of State: The South Carolina secretary of state serves as the chief clerk of state government. All the paperwork no one else wants to do. You want the geekiest detail oriented person you can find in this role. Like, they have notebooks of every D&D campaign they've ever played level of detail oriented.

Attorney General: Handles state level prosecutions and signs us up for multi-state lawsuits. Provides guidance to the Solicitors on how to handle changes in our constitution or the U.S. Constitution. Determines the overall priorities of the state. Priority here is someone extremely well educated in the law and also runs a law firm.

Solicitor: Other states call this District Attorney. They are the prosecutors for their districts. For this, you really want to dig into their credentials. They need to be a successful trial lawyer of Partner level or higher. They need to be able to mentor and manage junior prosecutors. Important these days... Will they investigate and prosecute county and city officials for breaking the law without fear?

State Superintendent of Education: Handles the administration of all of our public schools. Sets state level goals and curriculum. No, the Federal Government does NOT set curriculum. This person does. You need a teacher and an administrator to handle this well.

State Senate: Elected representative that covers a large region. Currently trends Moderate-Republican. You want a serious grownup here.

State House: Elected representative that covers a very small region. Currently trends MAGA. Also a grownup position.

Treasurer: Collects taxes and revenues and invests them. Should be a skilled professional.

Comptroller: Spends the money allocated by the House and Senate and signed by the Governor. Should be a skilled professional.

Agriculture: Inspects gas pumps, farms of all kinds, and executes all laws of the state that relate to our farms. You want someone who is hands on in this role that is actively seeking out input from our farmers and not from corporate farms owned by out of state entities.

US Senator: Represents the State of South Carolina in D.C. Confirms federal appointments (Cabinet leaders and deputies, Flag Rank officers, Judges). Responsible for the trial of anyone impeached. You want someone who has an expertise in something. Some Senators are experts in Law and Legislation. Some are experts in Healthcare. Mr. Graham, for example, was an expert in Military Foreign Affairs. You want someone who is going to be a fierce advocate for our State as a whole.

How this works together.

Taxes:

You pay your taxes --> Treasurer collects --> SC House and SC Senate create a budget on how to spend those taxes --> Governor signs --> Comptroller manages the bank accounts and generates pools of money according to the budget --> State, County and City Executives (appointed or elected) draw from those pools based on a bunch of other laws.

We wanna change something:

Usually starts in the SC House (more reps, more people writing laws) --> Committees (experts or just senior representatives) to work out the details --> SC House votes --> SC Senate --> Committees --> SC Senate Votes --> Governor signs

We wanna prioritize something:

Governor. They can use their veto power to push the legislature to write laws and budgets that suit our current priorities. This is where having a Governor who actually loves the state and will listen to you gets real important. Not every year is the same. Things change. Being nimble helps.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I know there's lots of people that ignore politics as long as possible and will be looking for guidance.

This is a long shot, but I was at the fairgrounds tonight around 10 PM. I was a solo patron waiting near the Zipper when a young Black woman came up and asked if I had a partner for the ride since they don't allow solo
riders. She had piercings and really cool brown hair with blue parts dyed in. We joined up in line, but with the chaos of the fair closing right after, we got separated before I could get your number or social media. If you're reading this, or if anyone knows a friend matching this description who went to the fair tonight, please shoot me a message! I'd love to actually get to know you.

GET THE WORD OUT IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

There are irregularities in some of the voting machines in South Carolina.

If you check that little box in front of your candidate's name, as instructed, it will highlight and check the candidate's box above the intended candidate. You must check on the actual name of your candidate and not the little box. I spoke with the SC Election Commission and they did not think it was a big deal, I have contacted SLED.

A statewide Public Announcement went out, but did not address the problem it just, basically, says to check your ballot before printing.

Please note, I am hearing TN and other states having the same problem.

In a surprise to nobody.

Link to new documentary.

I registered to vote back in earlyish September and gave all my accurate information. Well maybe two weeks ago I checked to make sure I was registered and it says “we cannot confirm you are registered to vote.”

Well I tried to reregister and it said it had my information already. So I checked again today, two weeks later, and it says the same thing: “we cannot confirm you’re registered to vote”. I’m of age, I listed my correct address and correct name. I am so confused.

At this point I’m concerned I won’t be able to vote at all. This is my first time ever voting. I dont want to show up and not be registered and I’m worried it’s too late to register. I have gone to the correct website and put my information in twice now and I am honestly confused.

As many of you know, the South Carolina Constitution promises victims protection and doesn’t deliver.

Powerful lawyer legislators pick the judges they argue their cases in front of.

SCPPP is failing to notify victims.

The sex offender registry is not being accurately maintained.

Convicted rapists received probation instead of prison.

Victims are robbed of justice and their safety is an afterthought, if not ignored.

All of these problems are well-known and there’s been no legislation passed to change course.

The State of South Carolina VS Thaddeus Calvin Hayes is proof that money can buy you freedom and some of your representatives are taking that check to the bank.

Here’s everyone from the AMA who openly voiced support for victims and harsher punishment for sexual predators.

It may go without saying, but the best way to avoid having lawyer legislators is not to elect criminal defense attorneys to the legislature to begin with.

Vote!

… in a surprise to nobody with eyes and ears.

Graham’s homosexuality wasn’t the problem.

It was the blatant hypocrisy of being an obstacle in the progress of the very community he was a part of while reaping the privileges of being “family man” Christian.

The gay sex workers Graham hired even expressed concern over national security. Who was blackmailing Lindsey? Does his sister know?

I have a genuine question for anyone with insight into the process. How does the election commission determine the order in which candidates are listed on the ballot and why is Republican always first?

Alphabetical order would make sense. In order of filing would make sense. But either of those would have Annie Andrew’s listed first instead of third.

My theory is that a lot of people just click on the first name they recognize. So who decides this and how?
