For the first time in this county, before the Republican primary election, approximately 280 candidates were stripped from the ballot by a minor technicality. This case went all the way to the South Carolina Supreme Court in an effort for the candidates to remain eligible. In the end the result remained the same and those candidates were classified as de-certified. There was even a movement within the House of Representative and the Senate to have the candidates placed back on the ballot, but it was unsuccessful and blocked.

Will Angry Conservatives Remain Energized Until November Election?
Four days after the US Supreme Court declared Obamacare constitutional, pollster Scott Rasmussen informed Newsmax that Conservative anger against Obamacare is hitting “stratospheric levels.”
U. S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) said, “The Supreme Court may have failed to stop this government takeover of health care, but the American people will not. Since the day this law was rammed through Congress, the American people have demanded repeal, and today’s ruling doesn’t make Obamacare any less dangerous to our nation’s health. Freedom-loving Americans are disappointed, but we cannot be discouraged.”
