Horry County vote going smoothly

As the first ballots were cast at 7 a.m. this morning, Horry County officials reported no problems with voting machines in the South Carolina Democratic Primary, the Sun News reports this morning.

By 8:30 a.m. officials at several polling sites also reported no problems.

"Everything is going wonderful," said Sandy Martin, Horry County's registration and elections director. "It's definitely going better this week."

Poll workers at several area sites also reported good turnout among voters.

"We've already got more people now than we had by 10 o'clock last Saturday," said JoAnn Stewart, a poll worker at the Homewood precinct. "It's going perfect."

Comments

The word "Democrat" is a noun. The adjective referring to the "Democratic Party" is "Democratic." Thus, the first sentence should refer to the "South Carolina Democratic Primary."

Please use the correct party name. It is the Democratic Party and a member of that party is a Democrat. "Democrat" is the noun and "Democratic" is the adjective. Many Republicans refer to the "Democrat Party" as a deliberate taunt. Please do not join them.
