Polls are now open at Laurens and Greenwood County precincts that serve voters in South Carolina House District 14. Both Democratic and Republican parties have candidates seeking their party’s nomination for the Special April 23rd Election to replace Retired Representative Mike Pitts in the South Carolina House of Representatives.
In the Democratic Primary today, voters are selecting between Bobby L. Gregory Sr. of Ware Shoals and Garrett McDaniel of Laurens. Those voting in the Republican Primary are selecting between Grant Blair, who lives on Lake Greenwood in the Ninety Six area of Greenwood County, Stewart Jones of Laurens, Scott Horne of Ware Shoals and Michael Seymour who lives on Lake Greenwood in the Waterloo area.
In the likely event of a runoff being needed to select between the two Republicans with the highest vote count today, that is set to occur on March 5th, which is the same day that municipal elections are being held around Laurens County.
