(Columbia-AP) June 22, 2004 - Three incumbent members of the General Assembly were defeated Tuesday night in Republican runoffs. SC Votes '04 Primary Election Runoff Results>>

In Berkeley and Charleston Counties challenger Chip Campsen defeated Senator John Kuhn. Campsen is a former aide to Governor Mark Sanford and also a former House member. In unofficial results with 100 percent of precincts reporting, Campsen won District 43 with 57 percent to Kuhn's 43 percent.

Longtime Lexington Representative Larry Koon lost to Nikki Haley in District 87. Haley says Koon didn't do enough to reach out to voters. Koon says he was busy working at the State House and noted that the legislative session ended just days before the June 8th primary. Unofficial results show Haley defeated Koon with 55 percent of the vote to Koon's 45 percent.

Also losing was incumbent Senator Bill Branton of Summerville's District 38. He lost to Dorchester County Council Chairman Randy Scott, who garnered 67 percent of the vote compared with Branton's 33 percent.

Haley and Scott do not have opponents in November, but Campsen faces Democrat Constance Anastopoulo.

Those losses Tuesday follow losses by two incumbents in June 8th primary election races. Observers say it reflects a mix of hard-charging challengers, redistricting and anti-incumbent sentiment.

House Majority Leader Rick Quinn, who has served for 14 years and was the second-ranking member, lost his seat 51percent to 49 percent to political newcomer Nathan Ballentine on Tuesday.

Pickens Representative Teddy Trotter lost his District Four seat to Republican challenger Dave Hiott.

Other incumbents had to weather very tight races in their primaries. Republican Senator John Hawkins was declared the winner in the District 12 Republican primary by 31 votes over challenger Lee Bright.

And, the state Democratic Party has asked Governor Mark Sanford to order a new election in a state Senate race for the seat now held by Senator Maggie Glover of Florence after charges voting fraud. She will face challengers Tim Norwood and Kent Williams.
