The 2014 primary season ends (Sept. 9: DE, MA, NH, NY, RI)

South Carolina statewide results as of 9:30pm:

Adj. Gen. (R)
Bob Livingston (i) has won reelection in what could be the last time the voters get to elect the head of our State's armed forces.  He currently has no opponents in November and there will be amendment to make the office appointed that will be on the ballot this November.

Ag. Comm. (R)
Hugh Weathers (i) has won reelection against Joe Farmer.

Lt. Gov (R)
Henry McMaster is in the runoff against either Pat McKinney or Mike Campbell, but it is too close to call right now and conceivably could go to a recount for second place.

Supt. of Ed (D)
Shiela Gallagher will be heading to the runoff against most likely Tom Thompson, but it might not be impossible for Jerry Govan to pull it out.

Supt. of Ed (R)
Sally Atwater and Molly Spearman have a lead over Sheri Few for the runoff that will be between two of these three. Most likely it will be Atwater v. Spearman but it is too soon to count Few out.  The other five in the race are out.

Treasurer (R)
Loftis Curtis (i) has won renomination and reelection.

I'm comfortable calling the Democratic Superintendent race as being between Gallagher and Thompson now.  Sheri Few is falling further behind on the Republican side, but she isn't dead yet. Still too close to call who gets the second runoff spot in the Republican Lt. Gov. race.

It's definitely an Atwater/Spearman runoff in the GOP Supt. of Education race.  Looks like we're headed to an automatic recount in the GOP Lt. Gov race to see who faces Henry McMaster in the runoff.

This might be a stupid question, but could one hypothetically get on both parties primary ballots, for whatever bizarre reason?

Yes, but you'd need to be an idiot to try that in South Carolina.  We don't allow write-in votes in primaries, so you'd need to file in both primaries paying double the usual filing fee.  Worse, under our sore loser law, if you lost either primary, you'd be blocked from running in November, even if you won the other party's nomination.

Anyway, while in theory, the automatic recount could change things, It looks like the SCGOP Lt. Gov runoff will be between Henry McMaster and Pat McKinney as I really doubt there are 250 votes that could be found to close the gap between Pat McKinney and Mike Campbell.

As expected, voting was light today and I noticed they didn't bother to set up as many machines as before.  My sister voted shortly after noon, and she was the first person to vote in the Democratic runoff in her precinct.  Considering her precinct was 134-6 Rep-Dem in the primary two weeks ago, that's not too surprising.  My own precinct wasn't quite as lopsided 419-26 or 6% Dem as opposed to 4% Dem.

Henry McMaster looks like he will be the South Carolina Lieutenant Governor, he currently leads Campbell 2-1.

Comparing the results for the two counties already in, Oconee and Edgefield, it's clear McMaster has won, as expected.

I don't know why AP is being so slow on the GOP SC Supt. of Ed. runoff.  Spearman has a solid lead and has won some counties today that Atwater won in the primary.
