7. WFM and DEM
Tue May 7, 2013, 07:30 PM
May 2013

Colbert Busch received the endorsement of the Working Families Party and that is why she is listed twice. South Carolina is one of the few states that allows fusion voting. This means that the DEM and WFM votes will be tallied separately and then combined to form a total for that candidate. So, it is not election fraud or a republican conspiracy; her name was listed twice, a likely benefit.
Hope this helped ease your fears and answer your question.
