Henry McMaster in a runoff June 24 for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor. With 46 counties reporting, McKinney was only slightly ahead of Campbell by 1,250 votes. McKinney had 24.36 percent of the vote to Campbell's 23.95 percent. Clarendon GOP Chairman Moye Graham said a winner between the two will be declared Friday.
