Gloria Bromell Tinubu, a Coastal Carolina University economist, has won the 7th Congressional District Democratic race with 53 percent of the vote, according to the South Carolina Election Commission.

Attorney Preston Brittain received 39 percent of the vote.

Attorneys Parnell Diggs and Harry Pavilack each got four and three percent respectively.

Ted Vick dropped out of the race after a DUI arrest.  

The Associated Press initially reported there would be a runoff between Tinubu and Brittain because Vick's numbers were being included in the results.

Without Vick's 7% of the votes, Tinubu does have the majority necessary to win the primary outright.

All results are unofficial.
