South Carolina announced a special election following the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham. Rep. Nancy Mace has stated she does not intend to enter the race.  Mace spoke to CNN Sunday evening.  Pamela Evette odds have gotten much longer, however, after initially coming in at -500.  She's now down to -160.  David Wilkins pays $325 for every $100 bet.   That is an interesting development as Wilkins was not listed among the odds found at BetOnline Sunday.  Mace was still listed among the odds, but hers have more than doubled after opening at 8-1 Sunday.
