I’M NOT MAKING PREDICTIONS, SO GO VOTE ALREADY

If you failed to read the above headline and subheadline, today is Election Day in South Carolina. And I’m not going to tell you who I think will win what. I hope I didn’t burst your bubble, but you’ll have to do that yourself — or just wait seven more hours.

That said, there are a number of legislative races on the ballot across the state that are certainly worth paying attention to. And, because I’m a great guy, I’m going to give you a list of the Republican Primaries you should pay attention to (districts in parenthesis, incumbents in italics).
