DescriptionSouth Carolina permits fusion for all office. For president, South Carolina has used fusion in 1972 (when George McGovern was listed as the Democratic nominee and the United Citizens nominee) and in 1996 (when Ross Perot was listed as the Reform nominee and the Patriot nominee).

In 2008, it is possible that Barack Obama might be listed four times. He is almost certain to be the nominee of the Democratic, Working Families, and United Citizens Parties. The Independence Party is also considering nominating him. If this happens, it would be the first time in the history of government-printed ballots that any presidential candidate was listed as the nominee of four parties.

The last time any presidential nominee was listed as many as three times in any state was in New York in 2000, when Al Gore was listed as the nominee of the Democratic, Liberal, and Working Families Parties.
