2nd Congress: South Carolina 1790
South Carolina elected three Federalists and two Anti-Federalists to the Second Congress.
Most of South Carolina’s parishes cannot be mapped because there are insufficient returns at the parish level.
South Carolina used a district system for electing members to Congress.
| District | Candidate | Party | Vote | Percentage | Elected |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | William Smith | Federalist | unopposed | ✓ | |
| 2 | Robert Barnwell | Federalist | unopposed | ✓ | |
| 3 | Daniel Huger | Federalist | unopposed | ✓ | |
| 4 | Thomas Sumter | Anti-Federalist | unopposed | ✓ | |
| 5 | Thomas Tudor Tucker | Anti-Federalist | unopposed | ✓ |
In most cases, only candidates who received more than 5 percent of the vote in a district are reported. Other candidates are reported as a group, but only if they in aggregate received more than 5 percent of the vote. In addition, percentages for each district may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. The term Dissenting Republican includes various breakaway factions of the Democratic-Republican party.
