South Carolina Voters Hit The Polls To Vote For GOP Governor Candidate

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Voters in South Carolina are now making final candidate selections for governor, attorney general and some U.S. House seats.

South Carolina voters had runoff choices Tuesday for the Republican gubernatorial and attorney general candidates, as well as the 4th U.S. District Congressional seat.

Democrats were picking candidates in the 2nd, 4th and 7th Congressional Districts.

There are also some runoffs for South Carolina House seats.

Most of the attention is focused on the Republican gubernatorial contest, where Gov. Henry McMaster faces newcomer John Warren on Greenville. McMaster had President Donald Trump in West Columbia on Monday to boost his chances. Vice President Mike Pence campaigned with McMaster with Myrtle Beach on Saturday. The winner faces Democrat James Smith of Columbia in the November election.
