In South Carolina, two Republicans have emerged from an initial primary round to contest a runoff that will almost certainly determine the next U.S. Senator from the state. Sen. Darline Graham, who has been stewarding her brother's seat as caretaker, and Rep. Ralph Norman, a seasoned House member, now face each other in a compressed intra-party contest. The vacancy that set this process in motion has become an occasion for voters to weigh legacy against independent record — and to decide what kind of representation they want carried forward.
