Did pubbies stay home or come out to play ?
This was reported to be a record turnout.
It is a record number of voters for a GOP primary
It’s an open primary. Whatever your registration you can vote in the primary. So the percentage of Republicans voting is unknown.
602,166 votes were cast in the 2012 SC Republican primary.
So this year was definitely much higher.
It is an open primary, right? So the stats are not necessarily Republican, at least not entirely.
I think that Trump has out smarted himself by smearing Cruz. The Insiders are counting on Rubio getting all the Bush, Carson and Kasich votes and beating Trump.
It will be Trump’s fault, he smeared the wron candidate.
Wow! That’s quite a win! Good Job voters! Good Job Donald Trump!
1,o71,000 voted for Romney in SC on election day in 2012. 875,000 voted for Obama.
That is a YUGE turnout.
Yes it was an open primary. Yes many Democrats and Independents could have voted in the GOP. If so they gave up a chance to vote for Hillary or Bernie next week. Maybe it wasn’t them attempting an Operation Chaos but people who are truly wanting to make a change in the way the country is oibg.
Something’s off. Showing 570k total votes in GOP primary. There were 605k voters in the 2012 GOP primary. Not a record. Short by 45k votes.
