Horry County (SC) early voters have casted three times more ballots than 2016; Pee Dee early voting also up

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) – With the final Presidential debate before Election Day on Thursday, South Carolina has already seen record numbers of absentee ballots already cast, especially in Horry County.

A pandemic, a Presidential election and a toss-up U.S. Senate race between Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and Democratic candidate Jamie Harrison are the recipe for shattering 2016’s early vote records in the Palmetto State.

“We’re probably, right now, on pace easily to double that,” said Drew Kurlowski, who’s an assistant professor of political science at Coastal Carolina University. “We might see upwards of actually a million early absentee or mail-in ballots this year, so the number is extraordinarily high.”

According to the state Election Commission, 64,681 votes have already been cast in Horry County, as of 5 p.m. Thursday. That’s more than three times higher than the 19,444 absentee ballots cast in the 2016 general election. There have been 741,322 total absentee votes cast statewide so far.

Horry County also ranks third in the state in ballots already cast, falling only behind Charleston (80,727 votes) and Richland (68,942) counties. One-quarter of Horry County’s 251,885 registered voters have sent in their ballots.

In the Pee Dee, every county but Marlboro County has already passed their 2016 absentee ballot totals.

If we see Biden up, or close in this vote, we know these numbers are fraudulent

Make me another one, as that is the first thing that hit me as well. The author of this piece, Chris Spiker, is a journalist. I expect more from someone whose supposed profession is to be a wordsmith, yet gets something that is spelled the same regardless of its tense usage, wrong.
