Republican Runoff Heats Up in Aiken | Augusta Georgia News

A Republican runoff in Aiken County is heating up with strong early turnout—surpassing expectations for a typically low-energy runoff. Voters who participated in the GOP primary or didn’t vote at all are eligible, while Democratic primary voters are disqualified—a point some needed clarifying on. Though the debate between Senator Darline Graham and Rep. Ralph Norman drew attention, voters say they’re laser-focused on border security and public safety. Early voting ends Friday, requiring just a photo ID; the runoff is Tuesday, August 25th, with the winner facing Democratic candidate Dr. Annie Andrews in November’s general election. This race isn’t just about party loyalty—it’s about real issues impacting everyday lives. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
