Turnout for South Carolina special election described as 'low to non-existent'

[chwaliszewski]

While most of the attention is on the special election in Georgia's 6th congressional district, voters in South Carolina's 5th congressional district also hit the polls on Tuesday — well, some of them.

The Post and Courier reports turnout was "generally low to non-existent" across the district. The special election will decide if Republican Ralph Norman or Democrat Archie Parnell replaces Mick Mulvaney, now serving as President Trump's budget director. In York County, elections spokeswoman Beth Covington said some precincts only saw 6 percent of registered voters, while others had a better turnout of 25 percent. "We're seeing quite a range," she added.

This might be part of the problem, yes?
