The event also comes during a historic election cycle for South Carolina Democrats, with Democratic candidates competing for every statewide constitutional office, every congressional district, and all 124 seats in the South Carolina House of Representatives.
Through the coordinated campaign, Flip The Future, Democrats say they are expanding volunteer recruitment, voter outreach, and organizing efforts in all 46 counties.
