CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) ? A recount has confirmed that former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford will face ex-Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic in a Republican runoff for a congressional seat.
Bostic finished ahead of state Sen. Larry Grooms on Tuesday, but the unofficial margin was so close a recount was needed. The final numbers showed Bostic defeated Grooms by 524 votes.
The winner of the April 2 runoff faces Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Bush in a special election May 7. She is the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert.
The seat was left vacant when Gov. Nikki Haley last year appointed Tim Scott to a U.S. Senate seat left vacant by the resignation of Jim. DeMint.
Sanford is waging a political comeback after his career was sidelined by his revelation of an extramarital affair.
