| Description | South Carolina Lt. Gov. Ken Ard has resigned from his position following an almost year-long ethics scandal.
In a statement released at 10:00 a.m., Ard offered apologies to his family, his staff, volunteers, and the entire state of South Carolina. He also accepted blame.
"During my campaign, it was my responsibility to make sure things were done correctly. I did not do that," Ard's statement said. "There are no excuses nor is there need to share blame. It is my fault that the events of the past year have taken place."
Ard's ethics trouble began shortly after he was elected in 2010. Campaign disclosure forms showed he had been using campaign funds for things like a hotel room for the 2010 SEC Championship, gas, food, meals, airfare across the country, postage, advertising, phone services, and consulting.
