Call Your Reps!
CALL YOUR REPS! Take Action! Call, e-mail, or even tweet the members of the House Judiciary committee who will soon decide if the unconstitutional Abortion Ban Bill will go for a vote in the full House. Senate Bill 1 is intended to ban abortion as early as 6 weeks, regardless of women’s needs and circumstances. Passing such a ban in South Carolina poses a serious threat to women’s health, freedom, and dignity. This is a far-reaching bill drafted by extremist politicians whose goal is to eliminate all abortion in South Carolina. Legislators take the comments and concerns of their constituents very seriously. Use the list below to contact the elected officials capable of stopping this bill from moving forward!

2020 General Election Recap
2020 General Election Recap Federal and State Elections Compiled by: This document serves to educate and give individuals & organizations an opportunity to learn about election results throughout South Carolina. All results reflected in this document are South Carolina specific. Federal Election Results The final day of a historic election with record turnout took place on November 3, 2020. While votes are still being counted in the election for US President, South Carolina’s outlook began taking shape shortly after the polls closed. There were significant increases in early voting as compared to 2016, with both Republicans and Democrats showing up early and pushing South Carolina’s voter turnout to 72.10%. Federal Election Results President & Vice President Donald J Trump Joseph R Biden Mike Pence Kamala Harris South Carolina Results While President Trump won the 9 electoral votes from the State of South Carolina, President-elect Joe Biden won the national election. November 3, 2020: Election day & States appointed their electors States must appoint their electors to the electoral college on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November under a federal law passed by Congress in 1845. December 8, 2020: The safe harbor deadline in the electoral college Six days before the electoral colleges convene to vote is the "safe harbor" deadline. While states aren't legally required to certify their results by this date, if they do so, they can avoid Congress getting involved and resolving a potential dispute over which candidate won a particular state's electoral college votes. December 14, 2020: Electors vote On the second Monday after the second Wednesday in December, slates of electors selected by voters convene in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to formally cast their votes for president and vice president.
