Governor Henry McMaster signed the Constitutional Carry Bill into law. Senator Luke Rankin was the only Republican in the South Carolina Senate to vote against the bill. Luke Rankin was opposed to changing the way judges are elected in the state before he flip-flopped on the bill after 9 out 0f 10 voters were for change. For being so out of touch with the values of the voters and his party, Senator Luke Rankin is the Polecat of the Week.
