South Carolina House of Representatives elections, 2012
 South Carolina's 2012 elections: • U.S. House • State Senate • State House |
South Carolina House of Representatives will be held in South Carolina on November 6, 2012. All 124 seats will be up for election.
The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in these elections is March 30, 2012. The primary election day will be June 12, 2012.[1]
Additional filing time
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
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 find themselves unopposed, and some districts may be left vacant. According to state law, parties are 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 continues to change daily as the state's legislators and prospective challengers attempt 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 continues to try and pass legislation allowing many of the challengers back on the ballot, but the effort is 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, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that a legislative solution will 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]
