Happy primary day, South Carolina!

It doesn’t have quite the cachet of Election Day, but it’s every bit as important — in many cases more important. And as the S.C. League of Women Voters’ Nancy Williams put it recently, it’s sort of like the Fourth of July: “a patriotic reminder of our country’s almost 250 years of government of, by, and for the people.”

Of course, unlike Independence Day, this day is more than a simple reminder of our individual rights and responsibilities as citizens. This day calls on us to do something to claim those rights and live up to those responsibilities. So if you haven’t already cast an early ballot or an absentee ballot, we urge you to go to the polls today.
