What the site is

Voteforjohncassidy is a civic-information publication about local and state government in South Carolina, with a focus on Horry County. Articles explain public records, laws and government decisions. They aren't legal, financial or political advice, and nothing here is an endorsement of any candidate.

You may read, share links to and quote brief passages from our articles for personal, educational or news purposes, with credit and a link. You agree not to:

• copy or republish whole articles without written permission;
• use automated tools to scrape the site in a way that burdens our server;
• attempt to break into, disrupt or overload the site or its feed reader;
• submit content through our forms that's unlawful, threatening, harassing or knowingly false;
• misrepresent our content as an endorsement by us or by anyone named in it.

Intellectual property

Original text, design and graphics on this site belong to Voteforjohncassidy unless marked otherwise. Headlines shown from other outlets' RSS feeds belong to their publishers and link back to them. Government documents we link to are public records. Trademarks and names of other organizations belong to their owners.

Submissions

If you send us a tip, correction or guest-post pitch, you confirm you have the right to share it. We may use the substance of what you send in our reporting. We won't publish your name without your permission.

Accuracy and corrections
