In the final hour's opening segment, Charlie James takes calls from listeners discussing local and national politics as early voting polls close for the day. Caller Pam from Travelers Rest discusses social media commentary surrounding write-in campaigns, while Dr. Barbara from Greenville raises questions about Democratic attack ads quoting state representative Adam Morgan—prompting James to clarify that Morgan publicly endorsed Darlene Graham—before detailing her concerns about urban decline and real estate prices in Denver, Colorado. After playing a campaign ad by Jennifer Balkcom criticizing North Carolina Democratic candidate Jamie Ager, Chuck in Mills River calls in to express strong support for Balkcom. The segment wraps up with James sharing updated South Carolina early voting turnout numbers, noting that over 363,000 ballots have been cast, representing more than 10% turnout among the state's approximately 3.19 million registered voters.
