South Carolina voters set to decide Senate, Governor and statewide races on Election Day
A new poll shows Graham and Andrews tied at 48% as Democrats try to chip away at the Republican supermajority.
A recent New York Times and Siena poll shows the South Carolina Senate race tied at 48%, with Darline Graham and Andrews deadlocked among likely voters in a strikingly close contest for a state that has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1998.
Appointed to the seat following the death of her brother, Sen Lindsey Graham, Graham emphasizes tax cuts and border security, while Andrews, a pediatrician, centers her campaign on affordability and health care, including concerns about potential Medicaid cuts.
Beyond the Senate race, voters will decide several key statewide contests, including the attorney general race between Republican David Stumbo and Democrat Richard Hricik, and the treasurer's race where incumbent Curtis Loftis seeks a fifth term against Democrat Vincent Coe.
South Carolina Democrats aim to break the Republican supermajority in this election cycle, while Republican candidates emphasize public safety, education, and infrastructure to maintain control of statewide offices.
On Election Day, polls are open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Voters can confirm their registered polling location on the South Carolina Election Commission website before heading to the polls.
