[ Recount likely in SC Senate District 17 race ]
Democratic incumbent Mike Fanning conceded Friday in a race that looked like it was headed toward a recount.
Only 29 votes separated Stubbs from Fanning for the District 17 seat. Which covers part of York, Chester, Fairfield and Lancaster counties.
The Observer reported Fanning alerted election officials that a recount was not needed.
Fanning held the seat since 2016.
