On a Tuesday in early November, South Carolina's voters are set to decide three layers of their public life at once: a seat in the United States Senate, the governor's office, and the full delegation of seven House districts. It is one of the rhythms of a democracy that arrives on a fixed calendar, every four years in its midterm form, falling precisely at the midpoint of a presidency, when the country pauses to take its own measure. At the moment this report was set down, the ballots were still unread, and the outcome belongs to the days and hours still to come.
South Carolina Votes: Senate, Governor and All 7 House Seats on the November 3 Midterm Ballot
The page carries no tallies, no projections and no winners.
Mark
So what actually happened here? Nobody has won anything yet.
Mimi
Right. This is a preview of election day in South Carolina: a Senate seat, the governor's race, and all seven House districts, all on November 3.
Mark
Why include the 2020 numbers?
Mimi
They give a baseline. Lindsey Graham won by 258,309 votes, about 10.2 points, over Jaime Harrison. Any new result can be measured against that.
Luke
Careful, though. The page names the Republican Senate candidate as Darline Graham, while its background talks about Lindsey Graham. That inconsistency isn't explained.
Mark
So we can't say who is running?
Luke
We can say what the page lists. Confirming the name needs an official source, not this page.
Mimi
The governor's race is cleaner: Alan Wilson, Republican, against Jermaine Johnson, Democrat.
Mark
And the national angle?
Mimi
South Carolina is one of 26 states with both a Senate and a governor's race. The page says the results feed into the national picture.
Luke
But the page gives no vote counts, no projections, and no House candidates. Anything about who is ahead would be invented.
El Pulso
- Voters in South Carolina head to the polls on November 3, 2026, with three contests stacked on one ballot.
- A Senate race between Darline Graham and Annie Andrews raises a name question that the page leaves unresolved.
- Alan Wilson and Jermaine Johnson are competing for the governor's office, with no results posted yet.
- The 2020 margin of 258,309 votes sets the baseline, while the live count remains empty and the outcome still open.

South Carolina's voters head to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, and the ballot they face has three layers: a seat in the US Senate, the governor's office, and all seven of the state's House districts. The Times of India has opened a live-updates page to follow the contests, but when it was posted there were no results and no vote counts, only the outline of what is to come.
The Senate race pairs Republican Darline Graham with Democrat Annie Andrews. The page's background refers to Lindsey Graham, who held the seat in 2020, and that mismatch in the first name is not explained. Readers should check the listing against official ballot records before trusting it.
For governor, the page lists Republican Alan Wilson against Democrat Jermaine Johnson. The House races are noted only by district count, with no candidates named.
For context, Lindsey Graham won in 2020 with 1,369,137 votes, 54.4 percent, against Jaime Harrison's 1,110,828, or 44.2 percent, a margin of 258,309 votes. The page also notes that South Carolina is one of 26 states holding both Senate and governor's races this year, with results feeding into the wider picture for Congress and the governors' map. The tallies themselves have not yet arrived.
South Carolina's voters go to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, facing a ballot with three layers: a US Senate seat, the governor's office, and all seven of the state's US House districts. The Times of India has opened a live-updates page on the contests. At the time of its posting, the page reported no results and no vote counts.
The date is the same as in every other state. Midterms come every four years, exactly two years into a president's term, which puts this election at the halfway point of the current one.
The Senate race pairs a Republican, listed on the page as Darline Graham, with Democrat Annie Andrews. The page's background section refers to Lindsey Graham, the incumbent Republican who held the seat in 2020, and its keywords carry the same name. The first name in the candidate listing differs from that, and the page does not explain the discrepancy. Readers should treat the candidate's name as something to confirm against official ballot listings.
For governor, the page lists Republican Alan Wilson against Democrat Jermaine Johnson. The House races are described only as covering all seven districts, with no candidates named.
The page offers one piece of history for comparison. In 2020, Lindsey Graham won the Senate race with 1,369,137 votes, or 54.4 percent. Democrat Jaime Harrison took 1,110,828 votes, or 44.2 percent. That left Graham ahead by 258,309 votes, a margin of 10.2 percentage points, and Republicans kept the seat.
The page also places South Carolina in a national frame. It is one of 26 states with both a Senate and a governor's race this year, and it says each result feeds into the broader picture for Congress and the map of governors.
What is missing is the outcome. The page carries no tallies, no projections and no winners. The numbers will come in later reporting, and the 2020 margin is the baseline against which they can be read.
