Democrat

E. Colbert Busch Dem 95.9% 15,776
B. Frasier Dem 4.1% 679
.........................

Republican

1st District 100.0% Reporting * M. Sanford GOP 36.9% 19,812
C. Bostic GOP 13.3% 7,149
L. Grooms GOP 12.4% 6,656
T. Turner GOP 7.9% 4,235

J. Kuhn GOP 6.5% 3,471
C. Limehouse GOP 6.1% 3,269
R. Nash GOP 4.7% 2,504

well it was low voter turnout -

hope that helps because Sanford won 19,812 (36.9%) votes, that was 4,036 more votes than Colbert and there were 7 more Republicans with 2000 votes or more ....

They should just elect Stephen Colbert himself. He would get along well with the other fake conservatives currently occupying the GOP.
