Live Results: South Carolina State House District 50 Special Election

This first Tuesday in June is quiet on the election front, with just one legislative special in South Carolina. 

Polls close at 7:00 PM Eastern Time.

South Carolina State House District 50

Republicans dominate the South Carolina House of Representatives, holding 88 seats to 35 for Democrats. Members serve two-years terms with the next elections in 2026.

District 50 sits between Columbia and Florence, and is bisected by Interstate 20. The seat became vacant with the resignation of Democrat Will Wheeler in January. Wheeler was unopposed for reelection in 2024. In 2022, he defeated his Republican challenger by 60% to 40%.

Keishan Scott defeated Carl Whetsel by just 11 votes (out of 2,861 tallied) in the April 1 Democratic primary. Scott is up against Republican nominee William Oden on Tuesday.
