Malloy was uncontested in 2016.



2020 election


In 2020, Malloy faced Republican farmer JD Chaplin. Malloy defeated Chaplin, receiving roughly 54% of the vote. In November 2020, Malloy announced that he would run for Senate Minority Leader. He lost to Brad Hutto.



2024 election


Malloy was among the state legislators appointed to serve on the Robert Smalls Monument Commission.
In 2024, Malloy saw a repeat challenge from Chaplin.



Recount

On general election day, Chaplin held a lead of 287 votes, a less than 1% difference which drew an automatic recount by law. With the recount completed, Malloy was defeated by Chaplin.



Protest

On Tuesday, November 19, Malloy filed a protest with the South Carolina Election Commission regarding the recount of the Senate District 29 race. The focus was on irregularities in the Lee County results. Malloy's legal team includes the son of state senator Brad Hutto, former US Attorney Bill Nettles, and Malloy's son Donovan.
Opponent JD Chaplin and South Carolina Republican Party chair Drew McKissick responded with statements calling Malloy an 'election denier'.
Malloy asked for a new election if irregularities cannot be remedied. The protest hearing is scheduled for December 3, 2024. If there is an appeal of that decision, it must be heard by the South Carolina Senate for a final decision, according to South Carolina law.
