South Carolina Republican Party Presidential Primary Filing Fee Goes Unpaid So Far

The South Carolina Republican Party has set a filing fee to appear on next year’s presidential primary ballot at $25,000 if the candidate pays by May 3, or $35,000 for candidates who pay later. The primary itself is expected to be in February 2012. As of mid-day April 26, no candidate has paid yet.

The 2011 session of the South Carolina legislature still has not finalized the state budget, so it is not certain whether the taxpayers will pay for administering the primary, or whether the party will, or whether both will help pay for it. In 2008 the state government paid for the primary administration, and the party turned over the filing fees to the state treasury. Before 2008, the party paid for the administration of the presidential primary.

Fox News is hosting a Republican presidential debate in Greenville, South Carolina, on May 5, at 9 p.m. Candidates must have paid the filing fee in order to be admitted to the debate, and must have filed with the Federal Election Commission. Also, they must be at or above 1% in public opinion polls. The party and Fox News say they expect Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Buddy Roemer, and Tim Pawlenty, to participate. However, none of those candidates has met all the requirements for participation in the debate yet. Some observers believe the debate will be postponed.
