Democratic Party office holding open house
The Democratic Party north of the Broad River is hosting an open house at 4 p.m., Friday July 1 for the grand opening of their office in Downtown Beaufort.
The office is located at 605 Carteret Street on the first floor of Scott Graber’s law office. Signage is installed, and volunteers are ready to get to work.
For those looking to help out, the new office could use stamps (for postcards and voter registration forms), toilet tissue, paper towels, and always, more volunteers.
Republican Primary protests denied
After hearings and a vote by the South Carolina Republican Party’s State Executive Committee, four primary protests were denied after each candidate failed to present evidence that would have changed the outcome of the June 14 primary election.
The races that drew primary protests were the Governor’s race, Attorney General’s race, and two State House of Representative races (Districts 43 and 81).
“As required by state law, we held hearings for the primary protests where candidates could present their case and our Committee members could ask questions,” SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick said in a news release. “Ultimately, our State Executive Committee voted to uphold the June 14 primary results – meaning that the Committee determined no candidate provided credible evidence that could have quantifiably changed the outcome of the primary.”
