Democratic South Carolina Primary results thread (polls close @7pm ET)

African Americans are not progressives. News at 9.

[The Free North]

Whites (34%): 58-42 Sanders
Non-Whites (66%): 83-17 Clinton

This is the only good thing for Sanders.

He still has a sizable lead amongst whites, which will bode well for him in very white electorates going forward.

The bad news of course is that he did far worse than he said he would with black voters and he has no chance of winning in the south.

We're seriously going to take exit polls as the gospel truth again? Only the results will actually tell us the margin.

[The Other Castro]

Holy race gap Batman!

[Mike Thick]

If my math is right, the exits have it as:

Clinton 68%
Sanders 31%

No way to spin this. An absolutely crushing triumph for Hillary.

BUT HE WAS AT SINGLE DIGITS IN THA POLLS SIX MONTHS AGO!!!1!!!!!!1!!1!1!!!!!

[HilLarry]

Woohoo!

[Mr. Morden]

Voters under 30:
Sanders 63%
Clinton 37%

Voters over 65:
Clinton 80%
Sanders 19%

[Admiral Kizaru]

Why do CNN keep talking about Hillary supporters asking Sanders to shut his campaign down?

Has anyone in the Clinton camp even come remotely to suggesting such a thing?

What was Jesse Jackson's skin color again ?

Whites (even Democratic whites) in the Deep South don't vote like whites outside of the South.  Racial polarization plays a roll, even in the Democratic primaries.  For reference, Obama lost whites in the deep south by 40 to 50 point margins, but still did well with whites outside of the deep south.

What faction of the party did Jesse Jackson run as a member of, again?

Bernie Bro's white tears make me strong

[King of Kensington]

So the conservative Democrats voted for Trump and SC white Democrats are just an ideological liberal rump at this point?

[Clarko95 📚💰📈]

So much for the myth that African-Americans won't participate after POTUS is no longer able to run

[yourelection]

"Clinton won back the the African-American  trust"

[MT Treasurer]

First votes in:

Clinton 304 (89%)
Sanders 39 (11%)

[This account no longer in use.]

Honestly, all of the African-Americans should have voted for TRUMP. There is evidence pointing to both Clinton and $anders being racists.

[The Free North]

The electorate is majority black and turnout was reportedly down noticeably compared to 2008.

Did you not expect a single black voter to show up?

[Matty]

First votes in:

Clinton 304 (89%)
Sanders 39 (11%)

lol

[Zache]

Clinton got more of the SC black vote than Obama in '08? Whoa.
