(WCSC) - Polls closed at 7 p.m. Tuesday across South Carolina in local races that state election officials say have a direct impact on the day-to-day lives of people in the Lowcountry. Charleston County election leaders expect voter turnout to hover around 20 percent this year, with only municipal races on the ballot and no statewide or federal contests. Charleston County Board of Elections Executive Director Isaac Cramer said even though these races don't attract the same attention as presidential elections, they are still critical. "Municipal elections just don't have the same level of engagement," Cramer said. "Although it's not national headlines, they are local issues that affect each one of us in our day-to-day lives. Our goal is just to let people know that there's an election, there's time to do your research, look up the candidates, but know that today's election…...

(WAFB/Gray News) " A 13-year-old student was expelled from a Louisiana middle school after hitting a male classmate who she said created and shared a deepfake pornographic image of her, according to her family's lawyers.
