Follow-Up: South Carolina 2nd District Recount Confirms Republican Rep. Joe Wilson's Narrow Re-Election
A recount in South Carolina's 2nd Congressional District confirmed the result on November 11: longtime Republican Rep. Joe Wilson narrowly defeated Democratic challenger Zahn Khalifa to win re-election. The recount, conducted because the result was close, confirmed Wilson's victory. Another recount the same day confirmed a Democrat's win in South Carolina's state House District 89.
Wilson is a veteran of South Carolina's congressional delegation, and the re-election extends his tenure in Congress.
