Everything You Need to Know in SC1

The race to replace Tim Scott as the representative for South Carolina's First Congressional District as been a campaign like no other. And in the Palmetto State, that's saying something.

To say the least, the field is crowded--there were 16 Republicans, 4 Democrats (now two) and two Greens (now 1) in the running at one point or another.

On Tuesday, the Republicans and Democrats have the opportunity to choose their nominee. The Greens have already chosen theirs in Eugene Platt.

With 16 candidates, it seems unlikely that any of the Republicans will get more than 50 percent of the vote. If that is the case, the top two finishers would meet in a run-off on April 2.

Whoever emerges on the Republican side would appear to be destined to face Elizabeth Colbert Busch, who has given Democrats real hope that they can win a seat they haven't held in 30 years.
