The federal government is taking precautions against potential claims of voter fraud, intimidation and violence. Assistant U.S. Attorney John Potterfield will investigate any claims related to this year's election. The public can reach him at (803) 919-3092.

We are approaching an election that people of all political persuasions agree is crucial for the future of our nation.
