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.”

For many elected offices, the primary election is the most important election. Because so many seats are “safe” for one political party, the general election is often a sure bet for that party. Voting in the primary election is often your best opportunity to have a say in who represents you.

The League of Women Voters tried to warn everybody.
