With the South Carolina Presidential Primary and Caucus approaching for Republicans Jan. 19 and Democrats Jan. 26, it's time for South Carolinians to narrow down their choices.
Here's what a few residents in Cordova said about themselves as voters and what they're looking for in a candidate.
Mary Rickenbaker, who's been voting for the past 30 years, is looking for specific characteristics in a presidential candidate which may come in a Democrat or Republican.
"Basically, someone who has good moral values, good character, who's interested in the future of our country and basically in our children and education," Rickenbaker said when asked what type of presidential candidate she's looking for.
"For the last few years I have voted Republican, but I'm thinking about possibly changing that because there's a Democratic candidate or two that I think might be good for this country," she said.
Megan Gramling was a first-time voter in the last presidential election, and the party she chooses typically depends on the candidates' issues. In the last election she voted Democratic but this year, she's undecided.
"I'll be honest with you, I really don't know because I haven't really heard all of the debates going on," Gramling said when asked who she's voting for in the upcoming presidential election. "I'm looking for someone who can help with the health insurance, to bring our boys home, and that's willing to help the economy."
Juanita Ritchie, who's looking forward to changes in health care and help for those overcome by poverty, knows exactly who she's voting for in the upcoming Primary.
"I'm voting for Hillary because I think she's the one for the job," she said. "I think she's got the experience and the durability, because she stood by her husband when he was in office, and I think she'll make a good president.
