The state Democratic Party in South Carolina, desperate for candidates, resorted to a robo-call asking for people to run. In South Carolina, Democrats in the heavily Republican state had said they planned to field a candidate for all statewide offices. But in the end, several statewide offices in South Carolina will appear on the ballot without a Democratic candidate. The story is similar in Oklahoma, where Republicans control the legislature, all statewide offices and every congressional seat. In New Mexico, the Republican candidate for secretary of state bowed out in June amid malpractice lawsuits against her law firm.
