South Carolina went blue for Annie Andrews. Did Horry County flip on Darline Graham?

When President Donald Trump traveled to Myrtle Beach in August to stump for Sen. Darline Graham, he told supporters he would return for a golf trip if the Republican senator won her election. If the president returns to the Grand Strand, it won’t be to make good on that promise. Despite support from Trump and other notable conservative politicians in and out of South Carolina, Graham failed to sway South Carolina voters at the ballot box. For the first time in decades, South Carolina elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate. Did the Myrtle Beach area flip blue for Dr. Annie Andrews or hold for Graham? Darline Graham’s run for office The late Sen. Lindsey Graham comfortably won his Republican primary in June. After his death in July, Gov. Henry McMaster appointed his sister, Darline Graham, to finish her brother’s term. For the Aug. 11 special Republican primary election, Sen. Darline Graham announced her intent to run for a full term. Graham took the lead in that initial primary, with 109,881 votes – roughly 32.75% – but failed to garner a majority.

Wawa could be coming to Horry County-but some residents aren't happy about it

Wawa could be coming to Horry County. The Planning Commission unanimously approved Thursday plans to allow a new gas station convenience store to open in Little River – but residents aren’t happy. The request, brought by WW LLC as an agent for Baytree SC LLC, sought to amend a 3.14-acre parcel at Water Grande Boulevard and Highway 9 East for a convenience store with gas pumps and a car wash. Although the lot is currently zoned for commercial use, developers needed permission to install gas pumps at the site. The Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain has something of a cult following, particularly for its sandwiches and other fast foods. A new Horry County store would mark the first location in South Carolina. But not everyone’s pleased with Wawa’s plans. Hundreds of residents showed up at the Planning Commission meeting in opposition to the proposed convenience store. Several residents shared public comments expressing concerns that increased traffic would strain infrastructure, endanger public safety and displace wildlife. None of the comments shared as public input were supportive of the plans for a new Wawa. “That intersection is one of the highest collision intersections … I’m already taking my life in my hands trying
