The state has 7 seats. The AP has called 5, four Republican and one Democratic, with 2 not yet called; the delegation stood at 6 Republicans and 1 Democrat before the election. None of the five called seats flipped. In District 1 a Democrat leads, which would be a flip if it holds, but the AP has not called it.

State Legislature

State Senate: Republicans retain control with no flip. The Senate had no general election this year; the current split is 34 Republicans and 12 Democrats out of 46 seats.

State House: Republicans retain control with no flip; all 124 seats were up this year. Democrats gained at least 10 seats and Republicans lost their two-thirds supermajority; the post-election split is projected at about 78 Republicans and 46 Democrats, with final numbers awaiting certification.

All figures are from the South Carolina Election Commission's semi-official count (all 2,312 precincts reporting) and Associated Press calls, as of the morning of November 4. Mail ballots are still being counted and results become final only after certification by the Election Commission; GSM will update this list when House Districts 1 and 2 are called.
