What to know about South Carolina's election to replace Lindsey Graham

Al Jazeera · back to the audit

Republicans in South Carolina will head to the polls on Tuesday to decide who will replace the late Senator Lindsey Graham in the race to represent the state in the United States Senate. A crowded field, which includes his sister, Darline Graham, is now running to succeed Graham. Darline Graham was initially seen only as a placeholder for her older brother, but a recent poll has shown her taking a commanding lead. She is the first woman to represent South Carolina in the Senate, and she is considered a continuity candidate in Tuesday's special election.
