GUEST: Rep. James Clyburn, 6th Congressional District, South Carolina
ISSUE: Voting
Tuesday, November 3rd is Election Day across the nation and the Lowcountry. In an effort to encourage individuals in rural communities to get out and vote, the Congressional Black Congress has introduced the “So Vote” Initiative. South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn who represents the state’s 6th Congressional District explained the rationale behind this initiative. Clyburn discussed the nature of midterm elections and how this initiative is a way to increase the historically low voter turnout. The Congressman shared his thoughts on the reasons that people don’t get out and vote and why he believes the 2026 will be different from past midterms. Additionally, Clyburn talked about what he tells constituants and others in response to people saying that their vote doesn’t count anyway.
