Updated May 17, 12:56 p.m. | The Republican primary runoff for South Carolina’s open 5th District seat is heading toward a recount.

With 100 percent of precincts reporting, former state Rep. Ralph Norman led state House Speaker Pro Tempore Tommy Pope, 50.3 to 49.7 percent, The Associated Press reported. The margin of just 200 votes is narrow enough to trigger an automatic recount, under state law.

“We did it,” Norman told cheering supporters at his victory speech Tuesday night. Pope, on the other hand, said in a statement that he would “let the automatic recount process play out to ensure every vote is properly counted.”

The winner will face Democrat Archie Parnell in a June special election. Parnell already congratulated Norman on Tuesday night. Democrats would rather face Norman, the more conservative of the two candidates who has said he’d join the House Freedom Caucus.

The conservative Club for Growth also congratulated Norman, whom their political action committee and super PAC supported with more than $860,000 in independent expenditures. Other congratulatory messages came from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who had endorsed Norman, and from U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor who also served with Norman in the state House.
