DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (WCIV) — Following Friday's recount, Republican Greg Ford was declared the official winner of the District 98 special election.

The vote totals remained unchanged after the state-mandated recount as Ford won by less than one percentage point – 21 total votes. There were a total of five write-in votes in the race.

In beating out Democrat Sonja Ogletree Satani, Ford will serve out the remainder of retired Republican State Rep. Chris Murphy's term. He had represented the district since 2010 and left office on Jan. 5.
