none February 2026 September 2023 The 1932 United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina were held on November 8, 1932, to select six representatives for two-year terms from the state of South Carolina. The state lost a seat from redistricting that occurred from the 1930 census. Four incumbents were re-elected and the two open seats were retained by the Democrats. The composition of the state delegation thus remained solely Democratic. 1st congressional district Incumbent Democratic Congressman Thomas S.
