46 counties, each filled by 2014 D-vs-R margin. Hover any county for its result.
South Carolina Democrats did not nominate a candidate in 2014. Brad Hutto ran as an Independent and was the principal challenger to Lindsey Graham (R). The county map below is the actual Lindsey Graham–Brad Hutto contest: Independent-won counties are gold, and major-party-won counties use the true candidate-to-candidate margin. The D–R presidential-baseline comparison is withheld because that axis does not describe this contest.

Source. MIT Election Data + Science Lab — 2014 US Senate returns, party-classified by literal ballot party · county returns aggregated from precinct-level results. South Carolina had no Democratic nominee in this contest; the county view is therefore keyed to the actual major-party-versus-Independent matchup rather than a D–R axis. Real returns — nothing estimated.
