As Horry County’s last remaining Democratic legislator, State Senator Dick Elliot has been long-time target for Republicans. The last two races saw strong challengers who kept him well under the sixty percent mark.
While those challengers were able to do well in Horry County, Elliot was able to hang on by running up strong leads in three rural Democratic counties which were also in his district.
