I believe that South Carolina is a closed Primary state. Voters vote in the primary according to their party registration. So no crossover voting. Anyone??
Is it closed? I has been “open” in the past — was open in 2000, wasn’t it?

I wish that were true, but no. SC has open primaries. Today is the GOP’s and the next Saturday is the Dim’s.
SC has no party registration, so therefore can't have a closed primary (because everyone would be closed off!).
No, our primary is open but you can only vote in one. You have to choose, vote today or vote in the dem. They use the same lists so they know.
