Soudth Carolina permits fusion, although it isn’t used very much, because if a candidate seeks the nomination of two parties, and he or she loses either nomination, then that candidate can’t have the other party’s nomination either.

Despite this damper on the use of fusion, there are some instances in 2018 in which a minor party cross-nominated a Democrat. The Working Families Party’s nominees this year are all Democratic Party nominees as well. They are for Treasurer, Attorney General, and 10 state house seats, in districts 45, 49, 69, 81, 85, 106, 110, 112, 115, and 116.

The American Party, which holds itself out as centrist, nominated two Democratic nominees, for State House in districts 75 and 106. The American Party also has its own nominees for Treasurer, three U.S. House seats (districts 2, 3, and 4), and State House (districts 6 and 49).
