Final SC Vote Tidbits

**SC Dems blew the doors off of their 2004 turn-out (and GOP vote from 1/19), but were unable to match GOP turn-out from 2000.

With 99% of the vote in, 530,322 Democrats voted this time, compared to 293,843 four years ago. Still, it doesn't match the turn-out Republicans had in 2000 when 573,101 voted.

About 87K more Democrats than Republicans turned out for the 2008 SC primary.

** African-American vote: It was much higher today than it was in 2004. This time, it was 55% of the vote. Four years ago, it was 47%.

Was there a reason that you stated the percentages vs the actual numbers for the African-American Vote?

Looks like Bill & Hillary have a lot more subtle racism help out there than recently imagined.
