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

[The Free North]

Guys my friend is at a university and went along a ballot line, there wasn't a single person over 23 and none of them were voting for Clinton!
Sanders landslide imminent!!!!

Someone else sent me this picture from a polling center.  Where are all the black people???  This is going to be a rough night for Hillary!

Didn't realize South Carolina was now majority Kurdish.

Amazing how demographics change so radically.

[The Free North]

Oh this is going to be an absolute thrashing

Based on the exit dems....

If we assume they split whites and Clinton wins blacks 75-25, you're looking at around 66-33 split overall.

I have a feeling it is going to be quite a bit worse than that for Sanders.

Exactly. I think those numbers are a bit generous to Sanders. He may lose both demographics by slightly more in which case Hillary could really make a push for 70%.

Exits for primaries are far better than entrances for caucuses, but there is still that disclaimer. Either way, if they are to be taken verbatim, I dont see how Bernie gets out of the mid 30s tonight.

[The Free North]

There's no way she's winning more than 70%. That exists only in IceSpear's dreams.

Look at the demographics.

If they split whites and she wins 75-25 with blacks (which is close to what she got in NV I believe) she will get to 66%.

[The Free North]

Poor Willie Wilson.

[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.

Any link to an official results page? I'm using Politico, but it doesn't have anything yet.

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

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?

[The Free North]

Hillary 88 - Sanders 12
what a blowout.  Hillary over 90 by the end of the night?

Nah. The counties that are in so far are rural and black, Sanders will probably keep it within 70 points (lol) in some of the more liberal and white counties.

[The Free North]

Angry white women going 51-49 to Sanders.

The angry black women are clearly out in force today for Hillary though.

[The Free North]

Going after Trump.

The only reason I hope Trump wins is to hit her (metaphorically of course) in the mouth. Good lord I hate her so much.

[The Free North]

Hillary's "excited" voice is even worse than Rand Paul's. Ugh, the talking points are so hard to listen to, she is just unbearable. Now shes pandering about Dr King and the civil rights movement...you know when she supported Goldwater. Everything she says is a sham.

Sidetone: lots of white people in this crowd.

@PoliticsWolf

Clinton is now winning SC black Dem voters by a larger margin than Obama beat Romney in his hometown of Chicago

That is representative of a total and utter failure of the Sanders campaign.

[The Free North]

LOL @ CNN rn

Not watching, did Van Jones have a mental breakdown?

[The Free North]

Claredon county is 100% in and Clinton won with over 90% of the vote.

[The Free North]

2008 is probably going to maintain turnout records for quite some time. 500k+ votes cast in the Dem primary 8 years ago, not even close this time.
