South Carolina parties raise cash for voter turnout efforts
Democrats trail Republicans in state funds as the two parties prepare last-minute get-out-the-vote drives for the November elections. Federal accounts favor Republicans with about 195k to 24k for Democrats, while state funds show Democrats at 98k and Republicans at 71k. Both sides expect to spend hundreds of thousands on mailings and calls to mobilize voters, with the GOP already launching a near 200k outreach push and Democrats vowing a robust, homegrown effort.
