The 7th District was added following the results of the 2010 census. According to The Washington Post, despite Republican-controlled redistricting decisions, this district was a battleground for Democrats and Republicans seeking control of the U.S. House. With Republican front-runner Thad Viers deciding not to run and Democrat Ted Vick, who dropped out as well, South Carolina's 7th was a swing district in 2012.[5]
