Notes

  1. ↑ A constitutional amendment combined the offices of president pro tempore and lieutenant governor to create the president of the senate.
  2. ↑ Peeler switched parties in 1989.
  3. ↑ Note that the numbers in the table for State Senate District 14 incorrectly list the U.S. House votes for Cherokee County. Additionally, the Union County votes are also incorrect when compared with the County-specific record. Adjusting for these errors in the aggregate table gives the correct vote total and result, whereas the table as recorded suggests Sossamon won.
