Mount Pleasant

More than 44,000 people had voted early as of 3 p.m. Tuesday, according to the South Carolina Election Commission. The figure is a new state record for turnout on a single day of early primary voting. The previous single-day state high was 23,000 votes in 2024.

Two Lowcountry mayors say they oppose the state's redistricting efforts just weeks before an already scheduled primary. Those running in the 1st Congressional District race are concerned too.

“M” is for Mount Pleasant (Charleston County; 2020 population 90,801). Mount Pleasant was a small village until the 1970s, when it began a dramatic expansion to become the fourth largest municipality in South Carolina.
