This market will resolve according to the candidate who receives the most valid votes from Richland County in the Special Republican Primary Runoff for United States Senator from South Carolina, which is scheduled to be held on August 25, 2026. The named candidates will be primarily ranked by the number of valid votes received in the specified election. If two or more candidates are tied on valid votes, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the candidates' last names. This market will resolve to the candidate that occupies the highest finishing position after applying this ranking. If the Richland County results of this election are not definitively known by December 31, 2026, this market will resolve to "Other." This market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the government of South Carolina, including the Election Commission and the government of Richland County.Darline Graham Nordone maintains a dominant position in Richland County for the August 25 Republican runoff because she led the August 11 special primary there and across 27 other counties as the governor-appointed incumbent and sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. Traders reflect her advantages in name recognition, President Trump’s endorsement, and heavier outside spending relative to Rep. Ralph Norman, who performed better in Upstate counties but trailed in the Midlands. The two-week runoff window and early voting from August 19-21 limit opportunities for major shifts, though Norman could gain if undecided voters from eliminated candidates consolidate strongly in his favor or if turnout patterns favor his base.
