South Carolina holds special primary to replace Lindsey Graham

Key Points:

• Ten Republicans, including two congressmen, a former governor, and Senator Darline Graham (appointed to fill her late brother Lindsey Graham's seat), are competing in a special primary election in South Carolina to replace Lindsey Graham on the November general election ballot.
• Senator Darline Graham has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump and faces challengers such as U.S. Reps. Russell Fry and Ralph Norman, former Governor Mark Sanford, and businessman Mark Lynch.
• If no candidate wins a majority in the primary, a runoff between the top two will occur on August 25, with the winner facing Democrat Annie Andrews in the general election.
• Voter turnout details indicate about 3.4 million registered voters in South Carolina, with around 465,000 participating in the June 9 Republican U.S. Senate primary; early and absentee voting accounted for about 29% of votes in that primary.
• Polls close at 7 p.m. ET, and the Associated Press will report results and declare a winner only when the outcome is clear; recounts occur automatically if the margin is 1% or less.
