We’re tracking election results in one race today. The seat in South Carolina’s 31st Senate District is vacant after Hugh Leatherman passed away back in November. Senator Leatherman had served in the South Carolina Senate since 1981, chairing the Finance Committee since 2001, and also served as Senate President pro tempore. He eventually had the title Senate President pro tempore emeritus created for him. He was largely considered one of the most powerful figures in South Carolina state politics. The 31st District covers most of Florence County and a small portion of Darlington County. There are two candidates in today’s contest, Republican Mike Reichenbach, and Democrat Suzanne La Rochelle. Reichenbach emerged from a closely contested primary back on January 25, while La Rochelle was the only Democrat to file to run in the special election. We will have election results below once polls close at 7 p.m. (EDT)
