It seems there are a few regulations that Colbert has yet to show he's fulfilled. For instance, it is unclear if he's met the requirement of actively campaigning in the state. Though he did stop by the University of South Carolina in Columbia declaring that if he won he'd "crush the state of Georgia."
Don't expect many votes from the Peach State, Steve...
