TL;DR
South Carolina kicked off early voting for party primaries with a record turnout—about 44,600 in-person votes and roughly 4,200 absentee ballots—as voters cited the redistricting fight. The Senate killed the proposed map redraw, potentially affecting Rep. Jim Clyburn’s district, prompting many to vote early.
