Joe Wilson, Zyon Khalifa headed for recount after close S.C. congressional race

South Carolina has ordered an automatic recount in the 2nd Congressional District race after Republican Rep. Joe Wilson led Democratic challenger Zyon Khalifa by 0.99 percentage points in unofficial results. State law requires a recount when the margin is within one percentage point. Fewer than 2,950 votes separated the candidates among nearly 297,000 ballots cast. Election officials said electronic counting makes a significant change unlikely.
