Republican Mark Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch are in a dead heat in their South Carolina race for Congress, as a new poll shows the embattled ex-governor erasing a deficit as voters make their final decision Tuesday.
The poll by Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows Sanford leading Colbert Busch by 1 percentage point, or 47% to 46% among likely voters. South Carolina's 1st District is a GOP stronghold, but Sanford has portrayed himself as a underdog as he fights for redemption after an extramarital affair in 2009 derailed his once-promising political career.
Poll: Sanford vs. Colbert Busch too close to call
Amazing because according to the so called experts Sanford was 9 points down just two weeks ago....

Oh I am sure that will go over just fine....pfft! Bunch of cheaters liberals are....
(Reuters) - The Justice Department will monitor voting in Charleston County, South Carolina, in Tuesday's special election to fill a House of Representatives seat, the department said on Monday.
Former South Carolina Republican Governor Mark Sanford is facing Democratic newcomer Elizabeth Colbert Busch, sister of television political satirist Stephen Colbert, in the First District House race.
The Justice Department said in a statement it was monitoring the election under provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The law bars election discrimination on the basis of race, color or membership in a minority language group.
The department did not give a reason for the monitoring. Tuesday's vote will take place under South Carolina's new law mandating photo identification for voters, and Justice Department monitors observed primary elections.
