1882 United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina
The 1882 United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina were held on November 7, 1882 to select seven Representatives for two-year terms from the state of South Carolina. Following the 1880 Census, the state was granted two additional seats in the House of Representatives. The Democratic controlled state legislature drew the districts to maximize the white vote and limit the black vote. Much of the black population was packed into the 7th congressional district which resulted in the other six congressional districts being evenly split between the races. The Democratic plan achieved its desired effect and the composition of the state delegation after the election was six Democrats and one Republican.
