Ed Harris, who won the Republican primary in South Carolina for State House, district 3, has been removed from the November ballot. The Republican Party now has no nominee for that seat. See this story. Harris is another one of the candidates who didn’t file a Statement of Economic Interests, both electronically and on paper, early this year. Almost 200 candidates for state and local partisan office were disqualified from the June 12 Republican and Democratic primaries, but Harris is apparently unique in being disqualified after he won a primary. The Republican Party says it should never have let him appear on the primary ballot.
Harris is petitioning to be an independent candidate, but the petition is due on July 16. UPDATE: see this article.
I believe in District 26 the only candidate running is a Libertarian. Is this still the case?
It is very likely there will be an independent on in District 26 but we will need to wait for the petition deadline on July 16 to be sure.
