In Columbia, South Carolina, the state republicans are angered that their tax money is possibly be spent for the Primary being held this year. As Republican Gov. Nikki Haley quickly responded, "the primary's cost shouldn't fall on taxpayers". The Jan. 21 contest is expected to be costing at least $1.2 million. The GOP dominated legislature is only authorizing $680,000 to be used by the state election commission. With that being said, the Republican Party would pick up the rest of the tab. Haley had vetoed plans to spend the taxpayer money on the Primary, but the Legislature's decision was to override the veto.
