South Carolina House of Representatives • 2012 South Carolina Senate Elections
Elections for the office of South Carolina House of Representatives were held in South Carolina on November 6, 2012. All 124 seats were up for election.

The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in these elections was March 30, 2012. The primary Election Day was June 12, 2012. The primary runoff took place on June 26, 2012.[1]

South Carolina's 2012 legislative elections were marred by a series of events that eventually led to nearly 250 candidates being removed from the primary ballot. Here is a brief timeline of those events, followed by a detailed account of what happened.

* March 30: Deadline for candidates to file a required statement of economic interest. Many candidates from both parties fail to do so.
* Week of April 16: The State Ethics Commission gives candidates an additional 10 days to turn in the form. Democrats call the decision unfair while Republicans say that they are okay with it.
* May 2: The South Carolina Supreme Court rules any candidate who did not file the form must be removed from the ballot. Calls for a rehearing are denied.
* May 9: While the Senate attempts to pass legislation to allow challengers back on ballot, attorney Todd Kincannon requests a delay in the primary. Both efforts fail.
* June 12: Primaries take place as scheduled.

#### Additional filing time[edit]

Candidates are required to file a statement of economic interest listing their job, salary, property and other financial information. A number of candidates on both sides of the aisle failed to file the form by the March 30 deadline. According to state law those candidates who do not file the form on time will not have their names on the ballot. The State Ethics Commission, however, said they would give an additional 10 days to turn in the form.[2]

Democrats called the decision unfair and considered suing. South Carolina Democratic Party chairman Dick Harpootlian said the issue is being raised because five Republicans who are challenging incumbent Democrats in the Senate and House failed to file the form. He stated,“The statute says you file the (statement of economic interest) disclosure form when you file, not a month after you are supposed to file. It’s abundantly clear. This is begging for more litigation.”[2]

Republicans said they were fine with the commission's decision.[2]

#### Candidate disqualification[edit]

On May 2, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled in a unanimous decision that any candidate who had not filed the necessary statement of economic interest would be ineligible to run, and subsequently ordered the political parties to remove up to 100 candidates from the primary ballots. Several incumbent senators now found themselves unopposed. According to state law, parties were unable to reopen filing for the seats.[3]

On May 3, the South Carolina Republican Party, the state Democratic Party, and the State Elections Commission asked for a rehearing regarding the Supreme Court's decision. This request was denied, with the Court stating, "Our opinion...speaks for itself and stands as written. Accordingly, we deny the request for rehearing."[4]

The South Carolina Supreme Court is appointed by the legislature, and this had led to cries of incumbent protectionism by some. Mark Tompkins, a political science professor at USC, claimed, "The good ol' boys are winning again...this process feeds that story. It makes folks say, 'Gosh, the insiders have the edge in this process.'"[4]

The issue continued to change daily as the state's legislators and prospective challengers attempted to find a suitable resolution to the problem. According to the Charlotte Observer, nearly 200 candidates were removed from the ballot in total (more than originally thought), including 55 candidates for the state House and Senate. The  Senate continued to try and pass legislation allowing many of the challengers back on the ballot, but the effort was severely complicated by stipulations in the 1965 Voting Rights Act that require any changes in South Carolina election law to be cleared with the U.S. Justice Department. Given the rapidly approaching June 12 primaries, a legislative solution was not able to be reached in time.[5]

On May 9, attorney Todd Kincannon, representing challenger Amanda Somers, requested a delay in South Carolina's primary. He claimed that a delay is necessary as a result of ballots sent to overseas voters and military members that only had federal races on them. Of the alleged violation, Kincannon said, "The ballots that they mailed out to military voters are not worth the paper they are printed on...Each and every one of them is illegal because they are all in violation of the Voting Rights Act."[6]

Just days later, Kincannon abandoned his efforts to reinstate nearly 200 candidates left off of the primary ballots, but continued the suit regarding partial ballots mailed overseas. A panel of three Federal judges is set to hear the attorney's argument on May 14.[7]

Just days before the primary, Federal Judge Cameron Currie rejected a last ditch effort to stop the vote on June 12. Five candidates who had been thrown off of the ballot, including former Senate candidates Tommie Reece and John W. Pettigrew, Jr., filed a request on June 11 in U.S. District Court in Columbia for a temporary restraining order.[8]

Ultimately, nearly 250 challengers were removed from the primary ballot. In one region, Anderson county, 15 of 23 challengers were deemed ineligible for the primary. Oconee County saw 11 of 13 challengers declared ineligible, which prompted a cancellation of the Republican primary there.[8][9]

Many candidates who were kicked off of the ballot attempted to gather enough signatures from voters to allow them to run as independents in the general elections on November 6.[10]

In South Carolina, candidates may get on the general election ballot by collecting signatures from at least 5 percent of a district's registered voters. The deadline to hand in petitions was July 16, with 13 candidates filing for the Senate and 31 filing for the House.[11]

## Majority control[edit]

|  Republican Party |  76 |  78
Total |  124 |  124

## Impact of redistricting[edit]

See also: Redistricting in South Carolina

The Republican-controlled Legislature passed new legislative maps in special session on June 15, 2011. Gov. Nikki Haley (R) signed them on June 28, 2011. Being a Voting Rights Act state, South Carolina was required to submit its maps to the Department of Justice, which pre-cleared the House map on October 11, 2011.[12] Six voters filed a lawsuit against the House and congressional plans, alleging racial discrimination in the redistricting process; after dropping several government officials from the case, a three-judge district court panel ultimately dismissed the remaining charges on March 9, 2012; an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court was pending as of August 2012.[13]
