Election security and early voting are top priorities for election officials and organizations in the Upstate

Jean LePere, a member of the League of Women Voters of Greenville County's voter services team, has spent this election cycle helping people register voters and answering questions about where and how to vote. She said there was a positive feeling at the events she attended.

“I can tell you, the enthusiasm is enormous. There’s a real sense that people want to do something,” LePere said. “I was surprised.

Anti-Biden clothing sparks confrontation at early voting center in Orangeburg

South Carolina's top law enforcement agency is investigating an incident at an early voting center in Orangeburg County on Wednesday morning.

The confrontation occurred at the Orangeburg County Library voting center when a man, identified by public safety officials as Mark Allen Morris, 54, was turned away from voting and argued with poll workers.

According to a redacted Orangeburg Department of Public Safety incident report published by Columbia news station WIS10, Morris told responding officers that the argument started over his hat that read “Let's Go Brandon,” a conservative slogan against President Joe Biden.

South Carolina voters are prohibited by law from wearing political clothing to the polls, including clothing with candidate or party names or associated slogans.
