South Carolinians have already exceeded one 2016 voting indicator: absentee voting.

The South Carolina Election Commission reports that 20,000 more Democratic absentee ballots have already been returned as of this morning than the 2016 primary total





The executive director of South Carolina’s Democratic Party said there’s no “mass evidence” of Republicans participating in the state’s Democratic primary, based on a review of absentee ballots. https://apps.npr.org/liveblogs/20200229-south-carolina/?utm_term=nprnews&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=politics&utm_source=twitter.com#south-carolina-democratic-party-leaders-54

1. Yikes, I hope they're not meddlesome Republicans.

3. How much evidence do they think there will be?

If Trump asked Republicans in SC to vote for Bernie Sanders, and if Lindsey Graham asked Republicans in SC to vote for Bernie Sanders, and if other Republicans asked Republicans to vote for Bernie Sanders, exactly how much evidence do people expect to find if this happens?

4. State databases have information on voters party affiliation.

5. In SC?

I don't know how they would. We don't register a party affiliation.

7. We do.

6. That's nice.

I am not so sure they are credible these days. I listen to them because that's the only news on radio in my region... I don't have teevee and livestreaming is not always smooth or free. I do listen with a critical eye and have since back during the Clinton impeachment. It was quite noticeable during that series of events that Ms. Liasson, their top political analyst, had a bias against Democratic figures. I think that was about the time that the kochtopus started heavily funding the network. The rest is obvious if you weigh their reports with info from other sources that are credible.

8. They got their information from the executive director of the South Carolina Democratic party

9. Well, I do hope

it's really real because that is a good thing for the election and the candidates. It also helps encourage voters in later primaries to go out an vote.

I didn't inspect their source, I admit.

10. I saw one bragging on twitter

I knew I should have saved the link
