If you are not registered to vote or if you are not sure if you have what you'll need at the polls, please take a look at this website: www.gottavote.com/en/SC.

Sure, it's a website by the Obama campaign, but it doesn't matter where you stand. We all need information about registering to vote. It's important to all of us.

Voter suppression is very real and very scary. It cannot happen anywhere, or it is the beginning of a very, very rocky road.

Make sure to vote if you can. If you aren't sure, call for guidance or check out this website. Ask. If you have a parent, friend or child who needs help in voting, check out this site. Help others register.

The deadline for registering to vote for the Nov. 6 election is Oct. 6, just a few weeks away.
