MONCKS CORNER, S.C.–Tuesday’s special election for Moncks Corner town council has ended in an usual way–a tie!
Businessmen Jay Law and Chad Sweatman both received 252 votes.
A little more than 500 of the town’s more than 5,000 registered voters participated in the election.
Voters will now head back to the polls on July 28 for a second runoff.
The field of seven candidates was originally narrowed to Sweatman and Law after a June 30 election.
The position was left vacant when Michael Lockliear was elected mayor in February.

500 voters of 5000 registered voted. So, maybe, 251 voters chose this guy on behalf of 5000?
