COLUMBIA (WACH / AP) - The Associated Press has called South Carolina with a win for Mitt Romney.
The Republican presedential candidate will add nine electoral votes from South Carolina to his tally.
Since Romney's nomination, South Carolina has been considered firmly in his camp.
For the first time in 30 years, South Carolina didn't choose the eventual GOP nominee during its primary, instead backing former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich. But Gov. Nikki Haley supported Romney early on, campaigning for the nominee in battleground states but saying repeatedly she would refuse any job offer in a Romney administration.
Republicans hold all statewide elected offices in South Carolina and control both legislative chambers.
Stay tuned to WACH Fox for more election results and coverage.
