Tight Race in SC Senate District 17: Only 32 Votes Apart
RICHBURG, SC (WOLO) — The race for South Carolina’s Senate District 17 has intensified, with only 32 votes separating Republican candidate Everett Stubbs and Democratic incumbent Mike Fanning following election night.
However, the final outcome is still uncertain. On Friday morning, officials from the four counties that comprise the district will hold hearings to determine how many provisional ballots will be counted in the official tally.
Provisional ballots are typically issued when there are questions regarding a voter’s registration status or if voters arrive at the polling place without proper identification.
The results of these provisional ballots could play a crucial role in deciding the final winner of this closely contested election.
